General.
Collazo Carling & Mish LLP is a law firm devoted exclusively to providing
expert, cost-effective representation and strategic advice to management on
the full range of complex labor and employment law matters. Our philosophy
is to provide clients with an approach to labor and employment law issues
that is both informed and creative, well-reasoned and practical.
We do not simply convey legal precedent: we provide clients with our
strategic thinking and guidance in a way that fully takes into account the
company's broader business concerns. We value the long-term relationships
that we have with our clients, and the confidence that they demonstrate by
integrating us fully into their decision-making processes.
Expert.
The attorneys at Collazo Carling & Mish LLP have substantial expertise in
litigating, negotiating and advising about labor and employment law issues
on behalf of management. Led by partners who previously practiced with
Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts, we are
able to provide clients with the expertise that derives from years of
experience in a practice solely focused on this ever-changing area of the
law. This expertise was recognized by The American Lawyer, which listed us
in its national survey of 400 corporate counsel who were asked to identify
the firms that best provide service, quality and value to clients.
Practical.
We take care to develop an in-depth understanding of each client's business
practices, organizational structure, industry, and competitors so that our
discussion of legal issues is informed by the practical analysis of how our
advice fits in with the client's overall business needs and objectives. In the labor relations context, in particular, practical advice shaped by legal understanding is more critical to a client's success than a narrow
focus on the law alone.
Cost-Effective.
In a legal environment in which costs to clients are consistently
escalating, our lower overhead and substantial investment in technology
permit us to provide corporations with billing rates that are 25-40% less
than those charged by large law firms, while offering the same high quality
work product, along with personalized client service.
