G. Tisman, Partner at Forchelli,
Curto, Crowe, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo and Cohn LLP was
named “Who’s
Who in Labor Law,” by Long Island Business
News.
In the article, Mr. Tisman discussed the implications
of the new administration. He was quoted,” As a senator,
and in his campaign, President Obama was an ardent supporter
of expanding employee rights, strengthening unions, and
increasing both government enforcement activity and the
damages and fines faced by employers.” “This
pro-employee, pro-union agenda … is already being
advanced and implemented under the Democratically-controlled
Congress.”
Mr. Tisman specializes in complex corporate,
commercial, defense, employment, labor and Surrogate's
Court litigation. He has tried cases and argued appeals
in Federal and State courts and administrative agencies
throughout the United States, and in arbitration and other
alternate dispute resolution fora. Mr. Tisman also actively
counsels management and human resource professionals on
employment and labor matters. He represents public companies,
privately held businesses, insurers, financial institutions
and individuals.
Mr. Tisman is a member of the American Bar Association,
the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and
the Nassau County Bar Association, where he is active on
the employment and labor committee. He has served as President
of the Lawyers Club of Huntington and currently is a board
member of the Theodore Roosevelt American Inn of Court.
He has published articles and treatise sections, and has
lectured on employment and litigation law and alternative
dispute resolution. Mr. Tisman actively serves as an arbitrator
and mediator in commercial and employment disputes, and
has been a court-appointed arbitrator. He has served on
committees of the Mid-Island Y JCC and the Northwestern
University Alumni Association, where he is past President
of the Long Island Alumni Club. He also served as Regional
Co-Director of Northwestern's Alumni Admission Council.
