Nancy Wright assists clients with comprehensive legal services in the labor and employment areas, from proactive training to claims litigation. She counsels and represents a broad array of employers on matters involving harassment, discrimination, retaliation, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), wage and hour issues (FLSA and New York Labor Laws), ERISA, contract matters, unfair labor practices and unequal pay claims. She also is a member of the firm’s Diversity Committee.

Nancy effectively serves as an extension of the in-house staff for employers of all sizes, including multinational corporations, domestic companies, and nonprofits such as hospitals, universities and municipalities. She has significant trial experience and has litigated hundreds of employment and labor law cases, including class actions, as well as premises and professional liability claims in New York state and federal trial and appellate courts, administrative proceedings, and arbitrations.
