Overview

Sarah (“Sadie”) Moore has nearly three decades of experience crafting practical solutions to legal challenges faced by private and public employers in both union and non-union settings. Clients look to Sadie for advice, training, advocacy, and strategic guidance on all aspects of the employer/employee relationship.  She regularly supports client in-house counsel and HR departments in addressing employment-related matters. Sadie also helps clients address - and overcome – obstacles to business operations and sustainability, from internal executive or employee claims to external operational interference.

In union settings, Sadie’s experience includes collective bargaining from NLRB/state agency certification through successor contract(s), grievance administration through arbitration, unfair labor practice claims, and litigation. She also handles reductions-in-force/layoffs, executive contracts, restrictive covenants, regulatory compliance, and discrimination/harassment/retaliation claims. Clients also seek out her leadership and rely on her to address a broad range of ‘new-era’ subjects like AI integration, digital protest responses, high-profile employee wrongdoing, internal threat assessment and monitoring plans, and stakeholder sensitive internal matters.

In addition to counseling clients on labor relations and employment law matters, Sarah also serves on the firm’s crisis communication and strategy practice group.

Sarah’s work includes representation of employers in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Ohio Civil Rights Commission (OCRC), State Employment Relations Board (SERB), State Personnel Board of Review (SPBR), civil service commissions, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), as well as state and federal regulating agencies.

Sarah taught labor law, employment law, collective bargaining, and human resources management courses to graduate and undergraduate students at Cleveland State University’s College of Business Administration and College of Law.
