Lawrence Z. Lorber, a Partner in the Washington, D.C. office, is an experienced employment law practitioner who counsels and represents employers in connection with all aspects of labor and employment law. He advises employers with respect to equal employment opportunity issues, affirmative action, including Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs and Department of Labor audits, wage and hour issues, employment aspects of corporate mergers and acquisitions, and employee discipline and the preparation of employee handbooks and human resource policies.

Larry has represented a wide variety of employers in all aspects of employment law, including trial and appellate litigation and employment restructuring. He argued the landmark Bourselan v. Aramco case in the Fifth Circuit regarding the extraterritorial reach of Title VII, and filed briefs in several landmark Supreme Court employment law cases, including Johnson v. Santa Clara County; Watson v. Ft. Worth Bank; Atonio v. Wards Cove Packing; Gunther v. Washington County; NLRB v. Detroit Edison and Circuit City Stores v. Adams. In 1995, Larry was one of five labor attorneys selected and approved by Congress as a member of the first Board of Directors of the Office of Congressional Compliance, the Congressional agency established to administer and adjudicate the Congressional Accountability Act, which applied eleven labor and employment laws, including the Fair Labor Standards Act, to the Congress. Larry represented the Society for Human Resource Management and the National Association of Manufacturers in the legislative activity leading to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, was chief counsel to the Business Roundtable for the Civil Rights Act of 1991, and was counsel to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008.

Larry was formerly the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor and Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs during the Ford Administration. In this capacity, he issued the first regulations under section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and enforced Executive Order 11246, requiring affirmative action for federal contractors. In addition, Larry served as Executive Assistant to the Solicitor of Labor with special responsibilities in the areas of labor legislation, wage and hour, equal employment, and occupational safety and health.
