Lee D. Moylan has over fourteen years of experience practicing Labor and Employment law and has had the privilege of representing employers and employees in a wide variety of matters at all stages of counseling and litigation. Lee’s clients range in size from very large to very small companies, including, but not limited to, multi-state asset/property management and construction companies, a large infrastructure and site development contractor, a major employer in the healthcare industry, local businesses in the hospitality industry, and small distribution companies. Lee is available to her clients to provide counseling on day-to-day workplace issues to ensure compliance with federal, state and local laws and to mitigate litigation risk as much as possible. Among other things, she has advised her clients related to the hiring, discipline and terminating of employees,  workforce reductions, and employer obligations under common law and local and state sick leave laws, Title VII, ADA, ADEA, FMLA, Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act, FLSA, ERISA, Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), Pennsylvania Whistleblower Law, Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law and Minimum Wage Act, PHRA, and Philadelphia Fair Practices Ordinance. Further, Lee has been entrusted to conduct prompt, thorough, and unbiased workplace investigations of and submit reports concerning allegations of harassment, discrimination and workplace misconduct. 

After litigation has begun, Lee has gained vast experience defending employers against claims brought under the foregoing laws, which matters include but are not limited to, most recently: defeating a multi-million dollar breach of employment contract claim following a bench trial and appeal to the Pennsylvania Superior Court, enforcing an arbitration clause which resulted in a Pennsylvania Superior Court published decision that has been cited as authority by Pennsylvania state and federal courts, obtaining a preliminary injunction preventing a salesman from violating a restrictive covenant, securing settlements for nuisance value of multi-claim retaliation and discrimination complaints, convincing a plaintiff to dismiss with prejudice a Pennsylvania Whistleblower Law claim against her client at the pleading stage, and zealously defending her clients sued on class and collective action claims and thereafter securing favorable settlements for a fraction of the threatened damages. Lee also has represented thousands of employees in a half dozen WARN Act class actions, all of which have ended in favorable settlements for the displaced employees.     

Lee practices before Pennsylvania state and federal trial and appellate courts, as well as the EEOC, the PHRC, the PCHR, the NLRB, and the DOL. She also has been admitted to practice pro hac vice when representing her clients in states such as California, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and New York.
