Glenn Grindlinger

Glenn S. Grindlinger represents management in the full spectrum of labor and employment law matters. He regularly defends clients in single plaintiff cases and class actions involving claims of Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage and hour law violations.

He also routinely represents clients in federal and state courts and arbitration fora and before government agencies in cases alleging breach of contract and breach of restrictive covenant as well as age, race, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation and religious discrimination, harassment and retaliation.
