Overview

Taylor Brailey counsels and represents employers in a broad range of employment matters.

She regularly defends employers before state and federal courts, administrative agencies, and arbitrators in single-plaintiff and class and complex disputes involving the following types of claims:

  • Discrimination, harassment, and retaliation
  • Leaves and accommodations
  • Wage and hour
  • Whistleblower

Taylor also works closely with clients to take proactive steps to avoid litigation, and to pragmatically respond to the continuously-developing landscape of employment laws that affect their workplace. She develops, reviews, and advises on the implementation of employee handbooks and paid leave policies, and provides counsel on workplace issues including pre-employment testing and reductions in force.

Prior to joining Littler, Taylor was an associate in the labor and employment practice of a large regional law firm. In law school, Taylor was the editor in chief of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law’s Journal of Law and Commerce. She also served as a judicial intern to the Hon. Lisa Pupo Lenihan of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
