David J. Baron

A decisive advocate in a complex employment dispute

Our mid-sized tech company faced a high-stakes, multi-plaintiff wrongful termination lawsuit that threatened significant financial and reputational damage. From our initial consultation, David Baron demonstrated a command of New York labor law that immediately instilled confidence. His approach was methodical and strategic, not just reactive. He meticulously dissected the plaintiffs' claims, identifying weaknesses in their case that our previous counsel had overlooked, particularly around the alleged discriminatory intent. What sets David apart is his ability to translate complex legal strategies into clear, actionable business advice. He guided our leadership team through every deposition and discovery request, ensuring we were prepared and protected. His recognition in Labor and Employment Law - Management is well-deserved; his litigation acumen was evident when he successfully argued for a summary judgment motion on the key discrimination count, which the court granted. This drastically narrowed the case and led to a highly favorable settlement on the remaining issues. David is more than just a skilled litigator; he's a pragmatic partner who understands the operational pressures a business faces during legal turmoil. His professionalism, responsiveness, and deep expertise in employment litigation were invaluable. We could not have asked for a better outcome or advocate.
