Steven M. Nobil

Steve Nobil is a partner in the firm's Cleveland office. He devotes his entire practice to representing public and private sector employers in the manufacturing, retail, logistics, higher education, sports, municipalities, healthcare and service industries in all areas of traditional labor law.  He has an outstanding success record in countering union organizing attempts and he has served as chief negotiator for employers in hundreds of collective bargaining agreements involving bargaining units of five to over 10,000 employees.  He also has extensive experience representing unionized employers in strikes, arbitrations, contract administration, mergers, acquisitions and downsizing, plant closures and relocations, reductions in force, independent contractors and joint employer issues and related litigation.  Many of the collective bargaining agreements Steve has negotiated were pattern-setting non-economic and economic labor agreements in which labor costs were significantly reduced and productivity was enhanced.

He also lectures extensively on developments in labor and employment law and their implications for employers and in developing policies, strategies, and procedures for preventing employment claims and lawsuits from arising.
