Jason R. Stanevich advises and represents clients in a broad range of labor and employment law matters with an intense focus on traditional labor law. His extensive labor experience in the public and private sector provides him with invaluable perspective in representing clients, which include both private and publicly traded companies, from small businesses to Fortune 100 corporations. As a core member of Littler’s Labor Practice Group, Jason helps steer firm strategy in this area, bolstered by his wealth of experience and depth of knowledge.

Jason works as a trusted advisor to clients with a wide range of issues related to labor management relations, including:

  • The National Labor Relations Act, The Labor Management Relations Act and related federal court proceedings, including injunction matters
  • Collective bargaining and contract management including labor arbitrations and contingency planning
  • Labor relations assessments, strategies, and compliance

As part of his practice, Jason regularly assists global companies in developing labor relations strategies and human resource policies. He provides guidance to employers that are facing union election petitions, as well as to those who need advice on how to best manage their union-represented workforce. Jason also counsels employers on complex labor and employment issues that arise in the context of corporate transactions.

He advises clients in a wide variety of industries, including healthcare, aerospace, cannabis, automotive, energy, government contracting, transportation, higher education, manufacturing, retail, and real estate. In addition, Jason regularly litigates unfair labor practice charges and pre- and post-election litigation matters. He applies his extensive experience in labor arbitration matters while counseling employers on strategic considerations related to collective bargaining and labor relations and serving as principal spokesperson for management in labor contract negotiations. Jason has litigated nearly two dozen trials before the NLRB and has negotiated well over 100 collective bargaining agreements across a wide range of industries.

Earlier in his career, Jason served as assistant general counsel to the Mayor's Office of Labor Relations for the City of New York. In that position, he represented the city and its police department in hundreds of labor arbitrations and unfair labor practice proceedings.
