Lawrence R. Sandak, a partner in the Labor & Employment Law Department, is head of the firm's Newark office and co-head of the firm's Law Firm Practice Group. With more than 30 years of employment law experience, Larry gives practical, cost-effective advice to clients on a broad range of issues.

As a trial lawyer and litigator, Larry defends employers accused of discrimination, retaliation, sexual harassment, breach of contract, and wage and hour violations. According to Chambers USA, Larry's "trial history attracts acclaim" and he is perceived as an "excellent relationship builder" who understands employment litigation "absolutely inside out." As one interviewee noted, he is "hugely determined to accommodate all of our needs." And US Legal 500, which ranks Proskauer's employment litigation team in the first tier nationally, recognizes Larry's contribution to the team's "premier" reputation and reports that he "is praised by clients for his 'hands-on litigation experience, and great ability to deal with the opposition,'" as well as for being "extremely knowledgeable, smart and savvy."
