He also counsels management on union avoidance strategies and represents businesses in grievance arbitration hearings.Although Dave is an experienced litigator, much of his time is devoted to minimizing the risk of litigation by helping his clients develop appropriate employment policies, manuals, procedures and agreements to address potential problems before they arise.
