With over 15 years in management and leadership roles at multinational software company Oracle Corporation, Rosemary serves as Barclay Damon's Labor & Employment Practice Group leader and Canada-US Cross-Border Team co-leader, primarily concentrating on helping companies comply with state and federal labor laws. She has extensive experience handling matters involving discrimination in hiring, firing, and promotion; wages; benefits; civil-rights claims; and workplace investigations of discrimination and harassment claims. Rosemary also routinely drafts employee manuals, employment agreements, severance agreements, noncompetition agreements, and employment policies and procedures.
Rosemary uses her hands-on experience with professional services, product development; training; and resource, facility, and operations management to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and needs of her business clients.
Rosemary’s business background is complemented by the four years she spent clerking at a small boutique law firm specializing in plaintiff-side employment matters. This experience gives her unique insight into how to counteract typical plaintiff strategies to maximize results for her clients.
A client told the independent research company Chambers & Partners that "Rosemary stands out for her responsiveness and practical approach to complex employment law issues. She consistently provides actionable guidance that balances legal compliance with business needs." Another client said, "Rosemary has been an excellent partner. She understands our workplace dynamics and the union environment we operate in, which allows her to give advice that fits our real conditions, not just the legal framework."
