A trusted advisor for complex employment matters

Our company retained Richard Cino to navigate a sensitive, multi-party discrimination claim. His 35 years of experience in employment law management were immediately evident. He provided a clear, strategic roadmap that balanced legal rigor with practical business sense. His recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Labor and Employment litigation is well-deserved. Richard and his team at Jackson Lewis were thorough and effective, securing a favorable resolution. While his expertise is top-tier, communication from junior team members could occasionally lag during peak times. Overall, his deep knowledge of New Jersey employment law and corporate governance makes him an invaluable resource.
