Gil Brosky

Gil Brosky provides his clients with the same top quality legal counselling he developed as a former partner at a Am Law 100 law firm with over 17 years of big firm experience. At Brosky Law, Gil is able to become a true partner to his clients to recognize and meet their unique needs.

This can run the gamut from collaborating on COVID-19 protocols for a reluctant workforce to strategizing on addressing harassment allegations against executives to addressing employee poaching by a competitor and much more. In addition to advising on employment questions and concerns, Gil’s practice includes conducting internal investigations and providing training to employees and management on wage and hour compliance, workplace harassment, ways to avoid employment litigation, and other topics that keep his clients up at night.

Gil understands that, while litigation is sometimes inevitable, it is nonetheless a stressful and expensive proposition for employers. To most efficiently meet his clients’ needs, Gil tailors his representation to a scale that is appropriate to the stakes of the matter at hand—whether operating as solo counsel for single employee disputes or cooperatively partnering with a larger law firm for more substantial matters. In both scenarios, Gil’s institutional knowledge and relationship with the clients streamline the process to make a positive resolution for the clients as cost effective and stress free as possible.

Gil also acts as a mediator for employment disputes, with a focus on individual, class and collective wage & hour disputes under ERISA, including alleged misclassification and COBRA coverage.
