Firm mission statement (250 words maximum): Founded in 1923, Morgan, Brown & Joy is the oldest management-side employment and labor firm in New England with a practice that is both regional and national in scope. Our practice has evolved along with the considerable development and expansion of state and federal employment laws such that it includes litigation in a wide array of areas including civil rights/discrimination claims; wage and hour litigation; wrongful termination and workplace tort claims; non-competition/trade secret litigation; breach of contract claims; ERISA litigation; collective bargaining and labor arbitration; NLRA and MLRC litigation. Our continued success can be attributed to our commitment to our clients, our ability to respond rapidly to changes in the law and the workplace and a cost-effective approach to litigation and dispute resolution.
