As both an employment law counselor and litigator, Julie Levinson Werner considers the employment actions of a business from every possible angle. Julie provides proactive practical and strategic advice to clients to address the potentially wide-ranging impact of their employment actions.

When counseling matters result in litigation, Julie is a zealous advocate for her clients and seeks to achieve the best possible outcome for them. Her practice encompasses a wide array of litigation under federal and state laws, including representing management in actions involving claims of discrimination, wrongful termination and sexual harassment, as well as in contract actions, disputes over non-competition and confidentiality agreements, and other business torts. Julie successfully argued Silvestri v. Optus Software, Inc., 175 N.J. 113 (2003), before the New Jersey Supreme Court, in which the court ruled in the employer’s favor and held that in satisfaction contracts, it is the employer’s subjective business judgment that controls as to whether the employer is satisfied with the employee’s performance.

Julie has written numerous articles emphasizing litigation-avoidance strategies for employers.
