Our Mission

At Tully Rinckey, our team of New York State labor and employment lawyers represents both employees and employers in their workplace disputes.

As one of New York State’s leading labor and employment law firms, our Albany employment lawyers have decades of experience throughout the Capital Region. We practice in Albany, Schenectady, Saratoga, Rensselaer, Columbia, Warren, Schoharie, and Greene counties, and we’re familiar with the courts and judges in each of them. We represent clients in federal and state courts and before administrative agencies involving employment, benefits, discrimination claims, and other labor issues.

Tully Rinckey’s labor and employment lawyers have appeared before the EEO, EEOC, NYDHR, State Courts, Federal Courts, appellate courts, and arbitration tribunals to advocate for our clients. Our experience in handling over a thousand cases before multiple courts have provided an appreciation that although patterns exist, each workplace dispute comes with its own particular challenges.

Whether as an employee or employer, your needs will receive our highest care and attention, and we’ll deliver a practical solution that meets your needs.
