Kelly provides labor and employment counsel and litigation services. Inspired by a family background in law, Kelly was drawn to the legal field for its problem-solving opportunities and the challenges it presents. Her interest in the labor and employment practice area stems from a desire for direct client interaction and the opportunities to build long-term relationships with clients as she helps businesses avoid litigation and remain in compliance with the law.

With the NLRB currently lacking a quorum and federal preemption in question, employers and unions alike are navigating uncharted territory.
