Criteria for Membership


As a member of the National Employment Law Council, you are a member of a vibrant, mutually-supporting community of the pre-eminent minority management-side labor and employment law practitioners and senior HR executives in the U.S. Members share best practices, participate in advanced-level CLE, and interact with leading practitioners, including federal judges, managing partners, leading trial lawyers, and agency leadership of the EEOC, NLRB, and DOL.


Our members actively mentor and support one another and junior practitioners, and provide business development opportunities.


NELC members include in-house counsel from companies such as AT&T, Chick-fil-A, Facebook, Google, John Deere, McDonald's, and The Fresh Market.


Our outside counsel members include members from firms such as Arent Fox, Baker & Hostetler, Buchanan Ingersoll, Constangy Brooks, Cozen O'Connor, Davis Wright Tremaine, Dentons, Ford Harrison, Goldberg Kohn, Jackson Lewis, Jones Day, Littler Mendelson, Locke Lord, Morgan Lewis, Nilan Johnson, Ogletree Deakins, Seyfarth Shaw, Troutman Sanders, and other national, regional, and boutique law firms.
