Office where she has continued to practice exclusively in the area of
employment law on behalf of employers. Attorney Garofalo has written and
spoken extensively on employment law issues and has also been an adjunct

Brown Raysman Millstein Felder & Steiner LLP, a national
law firm with offices in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey
and California.
Brown Raysman has assembled a group of skilled and experienced labor and
employment attorneys capable of expertly handling any employment-related
issue. The firm regularly counsels companies of all sizes on all facets
of labor and employment law, and works closely with in-house counsel,
human resource professionals and management to guide clients through the
federal, state and local laws that impact the employment relationship.
Whether the issue is accommodating a disabled worker under the
Americans with Disabilities Act, responding to a union organizing drive,
addressing a complaint of sexual harassment, or guiding employees through
the overlapping laws dealing with leaves of absence and unwell employees,
Brown Raysman employment attorneys devise practical, workable solutions
designed to reduce the risk of legal liability and help employers remain
in compliance with their legal obligations. A discussion with a Brown
Raysman employment attorney before an employment action is taken
can avoid costly and time-consuming litigation, and enhance the
employer's prospects of prevailing in those proceedings that cannot be
forestalled.
In addition to counseling employers, Brown Raysman labor and
employment law attorneys have a proven track record of successfully
representing employers in connection with virtually every type of labor
and employment controversy, including representing large and small
employers in employment-related litigation, appeals, administrative
proceedings and hearings and arbitrations.
Brown Raysman attorneys regularly draft agreements and policies that
define and regulate the employment relationship, including employee
handbooks, employment applications, offer letters, employment agreements,
non-competition and non-disclosure agreements, performance appraisal
review forms and policies, commission plans, termination letters, warning
letters and separation agreements with enforceable releases to bring
closure to sensitive employee disputes.
Finally, Brown Raysman attorneys conduct training on issues ranging
from sexual harassment prevention to hiring and firing and everything in between.
