Employment law touches multiple areas, including contracts, torts, litigation, administrative and other areas of practices — a variety that Daniel Finerty, a shareholder at Lindner & Marsack appreciates.

“Employment law is unique,” he said. “I also like how no two days are the same. One day, I’m writing a brief to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. Another, I’m taking depositions in a state court matter or equal rights matter. The next day, I’m strategizing about how to address a larger compliance issue.”

Finerty’s practice covers a range of industry sectors with defending senior living providers among his specialties. He also has handled hundreds of employment claims involving Employment Practice Liability Insurance for public-sector, private-sector, non-profit and tribal clients.

Communication is vital in employment law, Finerty said. He also favors a process-oriented approach toward employment law, which is designed to bring an employer and employee together to solve a problem. When the two come together, Finerty said it’s more likely a solution agreeable to both sides will be reached.
