Roy Salins' practice is devoted to helping management navigate all areas of labor and employment law. Roy has spent his entire career as a management-side labor and employment attorney, with a primary focus on litigation defense and providing clients with practical, day-to-day advice and counseling. Roy also devotes a significant portion of his practice to advising clients on matters concerning the enforceability of restrictive covenants, which includes the prosecution of, or defense against, post-employment restrictions as well as applications for emergency injunctive relief.

Roy is a trusted advisor with respect to litigation defense, litigation avoidance, and the implementation of internal policies and procedures that not only comply with relevant law, but also advance and preserve each individual client's unique culture and business goals. Roy represents clients, both large and small, across a diverse set of industries such as hospitality and restaurants, entertainment and media, nonprofit organizations, and financial services.

Practice Highlights

Defense of claims

Roy has defended hundreds of matters on behalf of employers including court proceedings, arbitrations, administrative hearings and responses to demand letters, including wage-and-hour class actions, and claims concerning discrimination, harassment, retaliation, reasonable accommodations, family and medical leave, and breach of contract.

Counseling

From start-ups to Fortune 100 companies, Roy counsels clients on the full array of issues related to the entirety of the employment relationship, such as wage-and-hour compliance, restrictive covenants, recruiting and hiring, employment agreements, protected leaves, employment termination, and separation agreements.

Hospitality practice

Roy advises full-service restaurants, quick-service restaurants, country clubs and other businesses in the hospitality industry on the unique labor and employment issues inherent in that industry. Specifically, Roy helps hospitality employers comply with the intricacies of the New York Hospitality Industry Wage Order, which includes detailed regulations governing tip credits, tip pools and service charges.
