Littler, the world’s largest employment and labor law practice representing management, has added Thomas R. Revnew as a shareholder in its Minneapolis office. Revnew, who was an attorney with Littler from 2000 – 2003, joins the firm from Peters, Revnew, Kappenman & Anderson.
“With more than three decades of experience in labor and employment law – particularly in the traditional labor arena – I have no doubt that Tom will be a terrific complement to our team,” said Erin Webber, Littler’s managing director and president. “I’m excited to welcome him back to the Littler family.”
Revnew’s practice focuses on labor management relations, with an emphasis in the construction industry sector. He regularly advises on matters arising under the National Labor Relations Act, defends unfair labor practice charges, negotiates collective bargaining agreements and handles high-stakes arbitrations.
“With several changes to Minnesota law affecting all employers taking effect this summer and into next year, Tom’s broad labor and employment law experience will be extremely valuable,” said Susan Fitzke, Minneapolis office managing shareholder. “His approach to client service, which is rooted in taking proactive measures to address workplace issues and avoid litigation before it arises, will be of great benefit to our clients.”
Revnew’s experience also includes defending clients in state and federal courts, as well as before administrative agencies. He has represented employers in a wide range of matters, including drug and alcohol testing; OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) compliance; unfair competition and trade secrets; wage and hour compliance; and against claims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wrongful discharge.
“I’m thrilled to be coming back to Littler,” said Revnew. “Littler’s reputation as the premier labor and employment law firm, combined with its innovative approach and depth of resources drove my decision to return to the firm. I am looking forward to collaborating with the talented team here in Minnesota, and nationally, to provide clients with the legal solutions they need as they face near-constant changes in workplace regulations.”
Revnew received his J.D. from the Marquette University Law School and his B.B.A from the University of Michigan’s Stephen M. Ross School of Business.
With more than 1,700 labor and employment attorneys in offices around the world, Littler provides workplace solutions that are local, everywhere. Its diverse global team and proprietary technology foster a culture that celebrates original thinking, delivering groundbreaking innovation that prepares employers for what’s happening today, and what’s likely to happen tomorrow.
