The firm’s clients include public and private employers in such diverse industries as manufacturing, healthcare, government, banking, hospitality, insurance, transportation, professional services, entertainment and retail. The firm has the distinction of serving as EPLI panel counsel for some of the world's largest insurance providers.

Plunkett Cooney’s labor and employment attorneys have a strong trial orientation and aggressively defend employers in litigation involving age, sex, race, national origin, religion, height, weight, marital status, disability and other discrimination claims in state and federal courts. Through its pre-trial motion practice, the firm has also been successful in obtaining the dismissal of thousands of cases without the necessity of a trial.
