Larry Seegull represents both private and public sector employers in all areas of labor and employment law.

He advises clients on compliance, litigation avoidance, and limiting liability with respect to the full complement of employment decisions, ranging from hiring to discipline and termination. He also defends clients in all types of employment-related litigation, arbitration and agency investigations, including claims of discrimination and sexual harassment, claims under the ADA and FMLA, claims for wages and overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act and parallel state laws, claims for breach of contract and employment related torts such as defamation and invasion of privacy, occupational safety and health claims, and litigation arising out of employee violations of non-compete agreements, trade secrets, and related issues.

Mr. Seegull also advises and defends employers with respect to all aspects of union organizing, negotiations, strikes, and proceedings on unfair labor practices before the National Labor Relations Board and the courts. His record of success in the early stages of lawsuits through dispositive motions has both rendered his clients devoid of liability and saved them additional substantial dollars by avoiding long, drawn out trials. In addition, he uses the most current  technology to aid litigation and plan strategy.

Mr. Seegull has appeared in numerous state and federal courts throughout the country.  He is regularly admitted to practice in the United States Supreme Court and the District Courts of Maryland, Eastern District of Michigan, and the District of Columbia, and before the Third and Fourth Circuit Courts of Appeals, along with the state courts of Maryland.

The respected English research firm Chambers & Partners cites him in Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business, describing him as "very fine."
