Before starting the firm in 2012, Gary practiced employment law exclusively at two of Chicago’s largest law firms and served as chief employment counsel at Navistar (NYSE: NAV) and Hill-Rom Holdings (NYSE: HRC).
Gary represents both businesses and employees of all levels to resolve a full range of workplace issues through effective counseling, training and litigation.
Gary frequently speaks and writes about employment law and has written and presented before the American Bar Association, the National Employment Lawyers Association, the Northern Illinois Society for Human Resources Management, the Northern Illinois Franchise Association and the American Conference Institute. Gary currently serves as co-chair of the Disabilities and Leave of Absence Law Subcommittee of the Labor and Employment Law Section of the ABA, and steering committee member of the Michigan Law School Chicago Club.
