Joshua D. Meeuwse

Josh represents private and public sector employers in all areas of labor and employment law.  Josh advises employers on how to navigate the complex patchwork of laws in both union and non-union settings, and has extensive experience with discrimination and disability cases, wage and hour matters, employment and non-compete contracts, and union-related matters, including collective bargaining, arbitrations, strike planning, and strike-related litigation.  Josh routinely represents employers in state and federal court and before a wide-range of administrative agencies, such as the National Labor Relations Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Illinois Labor Relations Board, and the Illinois Human Rights Commission.

Josh was named a Rising Star by Illinois Super Lawyers for 2012 and 2013, an award that is given to only 2.5% of the lawyers in Illinois.
