We are labor relations attorneys who are experienced and well-versed in representing management in public sector labor negotiations.

Tom Flygare is the past chair of the Labor and Employment Section of the NH Bar Association and speaks frequently at seminars and symposia on a wide range of labor and employment topics, such as collective bargaining, discrimination, leaves of absence, wage and hour law, and workers compensation.

Dan Schwarz and Tom Closson are experienced trial attorneys who regularly represent municipalities and other employers in federal and state court and in arbitration hearings. Our firm serves as defense counsel for PRIMEX and United Educators, and we do legal work in conjunction with the Municipal Trust.

Over recent years, we have provided collective bargaining and related labor relations services to a large number of cities, towns, counties and school districts.

In the course of our extensive experience in labor relations, we have participated in numerous mediations, arbitrations, PELRB proceedings and court hearings, including successful appeals to the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Our firm is highly regarded by mediators, arbitrators and the PELRB because we are well-prepared and present the evidence and the legal arguments in a professional and well-organized manner.
