Gregg D. Adler, a partner in the firm since 1985, received his B.A. from Brown University in 1979, and his J.D. from Northeastern University School of Law in 1982. Before joining Livingston, Adler, Pulda, Meiklejohn & Kelly, P.C. in 1983, Gregg was a Field Attorney with the National Labor Relations Board in Hartford, Connecticut. He is admitted to practice in the Connecticut state and federal courts, as well as the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and the United States Supreme Court.

Gregg has extensive experience both in representing unions in all varieties of labor relations matters - arbitrations, administrative proceedings, collective bargaining, litigation and general advice on contract administration and compliance - and in representing individuals in employment litigation, administrative proceedings and arbitration. Gregg also provides counseling and advice to employees at all levels of both large and small companies concerning legal issues involving their employment, including contractual rights and obligations, and he regularly assists in the negotiation of employment contracts and separation agreements for executives and managers. He is particularly proud of the work he has done in support of the rights of lesbian and gay workers, including having brought the first complaint under Connecticut’s sexual preference discrimination statute on behalf of a gay legal secretary.

Gregg also describes one of his proudest cases as his saddest, in which he successfully pursued an HIV/AIDS discrimination case to the Connecticut Supreme Court even though the plaintiff had died before the trial could be completed. In the labor relations area, Gregg’s most satisfying accomplishment was winning a permanent injunction stopping a large company from moving 600 manufacturing jobs out of Connecticut. One of his most hard fought victories in the public employee administrate law arena came in 2006 when Gregg won reinstatement and back pay for the former head of the State Ethics Commission who had been an outspoken critic of former Governor John Rowland.

In addition to his extensive trial work, Gregg also has a substantial appellate practice and has served as lead counsel in a number of cases in which significant legal principles have been established in the areas of employment law and labor law.

Gregg has been recognized for more than 10 years in the Woodward and White publication, The Best Lawyers in America and is regularly listed by Connecticut Magazine, New York Magazine and Connecticut Super Lawyers as one of “Connecticut’s Top Lawyers.”
