Corey J. Triggs

Associate   |   Milwaukee

Corey is a seasoned employment litigator who partners with employers to craft creative, business-aligned litigation and dispute-resolution solutions across the full spectrum of workplace law. Drawing on his years of experience in agency investigations, single-plaintiff lawsuits, and class actions, Corey defends management in matters arising under Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act, as well as in disputes involving restrictive covenants and other employment agreements.

Clients value Corey’s uncommon 360-degree perspective. Before entering private practice, he investigated discrimination complaints for the State of Wisconsin Equal Rights Division, served as a clerk to a plaintiff-side labor and employment boutique, and earned top academic honors for his employment-law scholarship at the University of Wisconsin Law School. This multifaceted background enables Corey to anticipate adversary tactics and position matters for early, cost-effective resolution—or, when necessary, favorable disposition in court. He has delivered successful outcomes for employers in administrative proceedings, arbitration, trial, and appellate forums, always with an eye toward aligning legal strategy with broader business objectives.

Outside the courtroom, Corey provides counseling designed to mitigate risk while supporting operational goals, regularly advising on terminations, accommodations, leave management, and policy development. He also conducts complex internal investigations, leveraging his background as a former neutral investigator to produce objective, actionable findings.

Committed to community service, Corey serves on the board of the Grand Avenue Club, an organization supporting adults experiencing mental illness. When away from the office, he enjoys Wisconsin’s outdoor pursuits, cooking, and traveling with family.
