A formidable advocate for complex employment disputes

Patricia Reilly provided exceptional counsel during a difficult wrongful termination and trade secret misappropriation case for our company. Her deep expertise in employment litigation, particularly in discrimination and wage/hour law, was immediately evident. She navigated the complexities with a strategic, clear-eyed approach that balanced aggressive advocacy with practical risk assessment. Her recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in New Haven is well-deserved. The positive resolution she secured protected our business interests completely. I recommend her at Harris Beach Murtha without reservation to any organization facing sensitive employment matters.
