Firm Description

General.
Keil & Correa  LLP is a law firm devoted exclusively to providing expert, cost-effective representation and strategic advice to management on the full range of complex labor and employment law matters. Our philosophy is to provide clients with an approach to labor and employment law issues that is both informed and creative, well-reasoned and practical. We do not simply convey legal precedent: we provide clients with our strategic thinking and guidance in a way that fully takes into account the company's broader business concerns. We value the long-term relationships that we have with our clients, and the confidence that they demonstrate by integrating us fully into their decision-making processes.

Expert.
The attorneys at Keil & Correa  LLP have substantial expertise in litigating, negotiating and advising about labor and employment law issues on behalf of management. Led by partners who previously practiced with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts, we are able to provide clients with the expertise that derives from years of experience in a practice solely focused on this ever-changing area of the law. This expertise was recognized by The American Lawyer, which listed us in its national survey of 400 corporate counsel who were asked to identify the firms that best provide service, quality and value to clients.

Practical.
We take care to develop an in-depth understanding of each client's business practices, organizational structure, industry, and competitors so that our discussion of legal issues is informed by the practical analysis of how our advice fits in with the client's overall business needs and objectives. In the labor relations context, in particular, practical advice shaped by legal understanding is more critical to a client's success than a narrow focus on the law alone.

Cost-Effective.
In a legal environment in which costs to clients are consistently escalating, our lower overhead and substantial investment in technology permit us to provide corporations with billing rates that are 25-40% less than those charged by large law firms, while offering the same high quality work product, along with personalized client service.
