    Introduction

    Alexia Willis is an associate in Nixon Peabody’s Labor & Employment group. Her practice focuses on representing employers in a wide variety of labor and employment matters.

    Practice Areas

    Labor, Employment & BenefitsLabor & Employment LitigationERISA LitigationLitigationLabor RelationsWorkplace Policies, Procedures & TrainingWage-Hour Compliance & Litigation

    /My focus

    I focus my practice on a variety of litigation matters, including employment defense involving wage and hour claims, wrongful discharge and harassment, class action defense, and ERISA defense, in which I support all stages of litigation.

    /Looking ahead

    Employers must stay vigilant to be compliant with the rapidly changing employment landscape, as disfavor towards non-compete agreements increases, and equal pay laws are implemented across the country.

    /In the news

    • WKFR

      Should new ‘20-hour rule’ become law in Michigan?

      This article, which looks at whether Michigan should adopt a law similar to New York’s recently enacted paid prenatal leave law, references and quotes a recent client alert written by Labor & Employment partner Stephanie Caffera of Rochester and associate Alexia Willis of Long Island.
