For approximately thirty years Chuck Stohler has been the lead partner in Carmody’s labor and employment practice.  For at least the last ten years, Chuck’s practice has increasingly focused on alternative dispute resolution, where he regularly serves as a neutral in mediations, arbitrations, fact-findings and investigations. Examples include:

• Conducted high-level investigations for Fortune 50 and regional companies, as well as major non-profit institutions in Connecticut and nationally.  Investigations involved C-Suite executives or groups of employees on matters relating to discrimination, harassment, Equal Pay Act issues, contract claims, whistleblower and employee violence.
• Mediated employment disputes, including FLSA and wage hour individual and collective action matters, discrimination, common law actions, executive compensation, contract, non-compete and severance disputes.
• Conducted investigations for public and quasi-public entities including Towns, Police Departments, Hospitals and Boards of Education into allegations such as race discrimination, sexual harassment, and financial improprieties.
• Arbitrated harassment, discrimination (e.g., sex, race, disability), wage-hour and contract employment claims, including class actions.

Chuck is a member of the American Arbitration Association Employment Mediator and Arbitration panels as well as a panelist on the American Dispute Resolution Center list of Mediators and Arbitrators. He writes and speaks frequently on ADR topics.
