Bryan T. Carmody is an experienced practitioner of labor and employment law, who represents employers throughout the United States. He has extensive experience before the United States Courts of Appeals, in state and federal court, before administrative agencies, and in arbitration proceedings.

In 1935, Bryan’s great, great Uncle, John Carmody, took office as an original member of the National Labor Relations Board. To this day, as one of the five seats that comprise the agency, the NLRB continues to recognize “The Carmody Seat.“ Bryan’s labor and employment practice has taken him to nearly every state in the nation as he has advocated for employers before every one of the NLRB’s thirty-two regional offices. Bryan has also appeared before numerous state and federal courts, as well as before countless arbitrators and mediators. Employment law has been and remains an equally important part of Bryan’s practice. He advises employers on how to comply with the law and avoid legal pitfalls. In doing so, Bryan draws upon his early years of experience, when he represented employees in matters ranging from garden variety employment discrimination claims to complex qui tam litigation.

Bryan represented employers in a nationwide unfair labor practice litigation that was among the largest ever undertaken by the National Labor Relations Board in the history of the agency. He obtained dismissal of petitions for wide-ranging injunctive relief in a year when the National Labor Relations Board was successful with these actions in nearly 100% of all cases. Bryan has successfully defended countless litigation proceedings pursued against some of the country’s largest owners and operators of hospitals, imaging facilities, food distribution centers and private transportation services in federal court, before administrative agencies, and in arbitration before the American Arbitration Association and the Federal Mediation Conciliation Service.

Bryan is also a respected counselor and negotiator. He has represented employers all over the country in connection with collective bargaining negotiations against, amongst other labor organizations, the Service Employees International Union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, the Teamsters, National Nurses Organizing Committee, the Ohio Nurses Association and the Oregon Nurses Association. He has counseled clients on strikes and picketing, including such activities that have taken place on a nationwide basis, and obtained complete dismissal of various unfair labor practice allegations pursued by the labor organizations involved in the activity. He also advises clients on the complex and sometimes novel issues that arise in connection with the sale or purchase of a business with a represented workforce.
