With over 25 years of courtroom experience in employment cases, Todd Horn was selected as Maryland's “Lawyer of the Year” for Employment Law in 2011 by the peer-review publication, Best Lawyers in America.
Mr. Horn also co-authors the comprehensive legal treatise, Maryland Employment Law (Lexis 2013), a book that Federal and State Courts have cited as a leading reference for over two decades.
Focusing on employment law, Mr. Horn ranks as a top “Band 1” lawyer by Chambers USA, which reported that he “is admired as a fantastic litigator – one of the best in the courtroom, with a tremendous presence,” is “very professional and efficient,” and is “particularly sought out for high-stakes litigation.”
After a four-week jury trial in 2013, Mr. Horn and his team obtained a defense verdict in a 13-plantiff, multi-million dollar age discrimination lawsuit. Mr. Horn regularly handles cases involving “whistleblowing,” discrimination, compensation, disability accommodations, retaliation, sexual harassment, ERISA, wrongful discharge, and defamation.
Mr. Horn also has significant experience successfully defending employers in “class action” wage and hour lawsuits under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Maryland law. He litigated one of the only cases in Maryland resulting in the complete denial of class certification under the FLSA. Syrja v. Westat, Inc., 756 F. Supp. 2d 682 (D. Md. 2010).
Mr. Horn also helps his clients avoid employee lawsuits and obtain strategic advantages in sensitive investigations, workforce reductions/reorganizations, disgruntled employee issues, and ADA/FMLA compliance.
