About

 Our history is long, but our focus is squarely on the future

 For more than 30 years, Spivak Lipton has been advocating for unions, workers and employee benefit plans. At Spivak Lipton, we are energized by the surge in union organizing and worker collective activity, and are ready to meet the needs of this new generation of union leaders and labor activists.  

 We have a deep-seated relationship with unions and benefit funds in the entertainment industry. We represent various guilds and unions for performers, stagehands, film and television studio mechanics, cinematographers, scenic artists, designers, make-up artists, ticket sellers, ushers, directors and choreographers. Our client base also includes unions and workers in construction, transportation, legal services, and the public sector.

 We counsel employee benefit plans, which provide health, retirement and other benefits to unionized employees. We work with plan trustees to facilitate provision of these benefits essential to employee economic security.

 We represent individuals and groups of employees facing wage theft, employment discrimination, unequal pay, and First Amendment retaliation on an individual basis or as multi-plaintiff, collective or class-action cases. In addition, we support individuals in navigating employment transitions, whether they are entering a new employment situation or moving on from an employment relationship that no longer is satisfying or fits their career goals.

 Our strength lies in the trusted, tailored advice we provide to all of our clients, and to our zealous representation of our clients’ interests in the courts, before government agencies, and at the bargaining table.
