Haley Kurisky

A strategic and responsive partner in complex employment litigation

Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-plaintiff employment litigation that threatened significant financial and reputational damage. The complexity was daunting, involving nuanced wage and hour claims alongside allegations of a hostile work environment. We were referred to Haley Kurisky at Jackson Lewis, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first consultation, Haley demonstrated a command of Texas employment law that was immediately reassuring. Her background in labor and employment management-side defense was evident, but what truly set her apart was her strategic foresight. She didn't just react to the plaintiffs' filings; she built a proactive defense that systematically dismantled their case. Haley meticulously guided our internal team through the discovery process, protecting privileged communications and preparing our witnesses with a clarity that reduced their anxiety. Her recognition in areas like Litigation - Labor and Employment and Mass Tort/Class Actions wasn't just a line on a profile—it translated directly into her ability to manage the procedural intricacies and scale of our case. Haley negotiated from a position of strength, ultimately securing a settlement that was far more favorable than we anticipated, allowing us to move forward without the shadow of protracted litigation. Her professionalism, combined with a direct and collaborative approach, made her an invaluable extension of our team. We have absolute confidence in her counsel.
