Proskauer’s second Value Insights: Delivering Value in Labor and Employment Law survey is now live and we want to hear from you. Value Insights explores how in-house counsel can maximize the value they provide to their business partners and correspondingly, how they can most effectively partner with outside counsel on managing labor and employment work.

We look forward to sharing a report based on the findings with respondents, and hope that understanding the approach and practices of your peers will provide you with tools and ideas to be value leaders in your organizations.

Elise M. Bloom is widely hailed as one of the nation’s top employment lawyers and one of the most creative and effective discrimination, wage and hour, class/collective action trial lawyers. She is particularly well-known for handling high profile, bet-the-company matters on behalf of significant national employers.

With 30+ years in practice, Elise possesses extensive pre-trial and jury trial experience as well as conducting high-profile investigations. She is a leading authority in class action litigation involving non-traditional workers—including interns, trainees, volunteers, and other contingent or entry-level personnel. She secured a landmark, precedent-setting victory for Fox Searchlight Pictures in the high-profile “Black Swan” case. Elise also handled several other precedent-setting cases, including Hoffman v. Parade Pubs, Doe v Bloomberg, L.P. Court of Appeals, Hamby v. WNBA, LLC, and Chen v. Major League Baseball.

A noted author and speaker on employment-related topics, Elise spearheads Proskauer’s annual Value Insights: Delivering Value in Labor and Employment Law survey. Elise has been recognized as one of the leading employment lawyers by several leading publications such as Chambers USA, Legal 500, New York Law Journal and Employment Law360, to name a few. She was recently recognized as “Labor & Employment Management Attorney of the Year” at Benchmark Litigation’s 2020 US Awards EAST. She has also been named “Best in Labor & Employment” at Euromoney’s Women in Business Law Awards Americas in 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2014. A client recently told Chambers USA, “She’s incredible. She has an intensity about her work and she knows how corporations work. To watch her in litigation is magic.”
