Corey is an experienced employment litigator who partners with employers to craft creative, business‑aligned litigation and dispute‑resolution strategies across the full spectrum of workplace law. Drawing on years of practice 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 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, clerked for 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 opposing strategies and position matters for early, cost‑effective resolution—or, when necessary, favorable results 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 practical counseling designed to mitigate risk while supporting operational goals, regularly advising on separations, accommodations, leave management, and policy development. He also conducts complex internal investigations, leveraging his experience 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 his wife, Hannah, and their young son.
