Whitney Brown

Lehr Middlebrooks Vreeland & Thompson

Whitney Brown is a shareholder with the firm. Whitney represents  employers in a range of employment litigation, including harassment and  discrimination cases, Family Medical Leave Act, and cases involving  state law claims. Over the past few years, Whitney’s practice has led  her to manage the defenses of three multi-plaintiff race or national  origin discrimination and retaliation cases. This included mapping a  course that led to our client’s receiving summary judgment on all of the  claims by ten individual plaintiffs. A significant focus of her  litigation has been on health care facilities and restaurants. Whitney  enjoys helping these employers come up with solutions to the particular  challenges they face.  Whitney also counsels and educates employers on all employment  related topics and especially navigating employee health issues at the  intersections of the FMLA, ADA, PDA, and attendance policies. Whitney  leads the firm’s Effective Supervisor® program on a regular basis and is  also frequently invited to speak to clients, industry associations, and  human resources groups about a variety of emerging trends in employment  law.
