Adam L. Santucci

Profile

Adam is Co-Chair of the McNees Labor & Employment Law Group and a Member of the Public Finance & Government Services Group.  Adam collaborates with businesses, non-profits and government entities to provide creative solutions to solve the difficult problems that arise in today’s workplace.

Responsiveness is important to clients and Adam gets it – he is available when you need him.  Adam strives to develop long term, trusted relationships with the goal of proactively avoiding legal claims.

But litigation happens, and when necessary, Adam zealously represents employers facing lawsuits or other claims by employees or former employees.  He has recently successfully defended:

• Wage payment claims in state court;
• Discrimination and harassment claims before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and in federal court;
• Whistleblower claims; and
• Contract interpretation and discharge grievance arbitrations.

Adam also helps conduct internal investigations and assists with government investigations.  Many organizations turn to Adam and the Labor and Employment team for employee and supervisor and manager training as well.

Adam regularly represents and counsels unionized employers in all aspects of labor relations including collective bargaining and labor arbitration, and he has secured numerous successful outcomes in grievance arbitrations and favorable outcomes in interest arbitration proceedings.  He also provides counsel to non-unionized employers looking to remain union-free.

Immediately before joining McNees, Adam served as the Human Resource Director for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.  Adam also spent approximately six years with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections in the Labor Relations Division.

Adam proudly serves on the Board of Directors of the Domestic Violence Services of Cumberland and Perry Counties, and serves on the Widener Commonwealth Law School’s Business Counseling Advisory Committee.  Adam also Chairs the Strategic Planning Committee at McNees.
