Firm Overview

Denlinger, Rosenthal & Greenberg's practice is limited to the field of labor and employment law, representing management. The firm's lawyers have substantial experience representing employers in union organizing campaigns, labor negotiations, administrative agency matters (including NLRB, EEOC, OSHA, OFCCP and DOL), arbitrations, and litigation (including discrimination, wrongful discharge, wage and hour, benefits, family and medical leave, WARN, COBRA, workplace tort, breach of contract, and non-compete cases).

All of the firm's lawyers who have been partners (technically shareholders) for five years or more are AV Preeminent Peer Review RatedSM by Martindale-Hubbell, based on evaluations performed by other lawyers in the area. AV is the highest rating available, and, according to the criteria, "identifies a lawyer with very high to preeminent legal ability."

Three of the firm's six partners are listed in Best Lawyers in America and Ohio Super Lawyers. Two of the partners are listed in Chambers USA.

US News & World Report ranked the firm as one of the four best management labor law firms in Cincinnati.

The firm's clients range from small to very large companies in a wide variety of businesses, including manufacturing, hotels and restaurants, construction, retail sales, health care and professional firms. Denlinger, Rosenthal & Greenberg also represents municipalities and other governmental entities.

All of the firm's lawyers who have been partners for five years or more have equal compensation and equity. Compensation criteria used by other firms that could be divisive or result in excessive client charges like the amount of bills a lawyer sends or the number of hours he records are not considered.

Partly as a consequence of this compensation approach, there is much collegiality, trust and consultation among our lawyers. All lawyers help each other take care of our clients' needs. No one is proprietary about a client, nor is there any incentive to be.
