WHO WE ARE

McMoran, O’Connor, Bramley & Burns P.C. is widely recognized as one of the leading employment law firms in the northeast. We are not a general practice. We specialize in employment law. Our attorneys have over 75 years of combined experience representing clients in all types of employment cases, including discrimination, whistleblowing, harassment, employment agreements, wage and hour violations, equal pay claims and non-compete issues.

The firm has successfully taken on some of the biggest pharmaceutical and medical device companies in the world, including Johnson & Johnson, Schering Plough, Merck, Pfizer, Celgene and Abbott Laboratories. We have been at the forefront of protecting employee rights under New Jersey’s whistleblowing statute, the Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA). We are the firm that successfully represented Joel Lippman, the former Chief Medical Officer of Ethicon, Inc., in the landmark case of Lippman v. Ethicon, Inc., 222 N.J. 362 (2015), in which the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that “watchdog” employees are protected by CEPA. After a six-week trial against Ethicon, Inc. and its parent company, Johnson & Johnson, the case settled on a confidential basis.

We carefully select every case we handle and maintain the highest level of commitment from the first day we meet our clients through trial or settlement. The firm has recovered over $100 million in jury verdicts and settlements for our clients since the firm was founded in 1998.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU

Being fired, threatened with termination or subjected to an intolerable work environment is very stressful. It involves a threat to you personally and to your family’s income, lifestyle and well-being. It is not a situation you can deal with yourself. We can help you level the playing field against your employer by:

• Negotiating severance or other economic terms; or

• Filing a lawsuit on your behalf.

We treat every case as if it will go to trial from day one. We are not afraid to go to trial and do not back down from any company or law firm.
