NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, April 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Falcon Rappaport & Berkman (FRB) is pleased to announce that Elizabeth Schlissel has been named Chair of the firm's Labor & Employment Practice Group.

As a Partner in FRB's Labor & Employment and Healthcare Practice Groups, Elizabeth represents clients in employment litigation, investigations, and audits. Her practice includes working with business owners, management teams, and HR professionals on day-to-day workplace matters, including wage-and-hour compliance, disability and leave issues, employment policies and agreements, and effective and compliant responses to internal complaints. Elizabeth regularly works with her clients to develop best practices for their businesses to promote workplace efficiency, legal compliance, and a positive workplace culture.

Elizabeth regularly represents companies in state and federal court in disputes involving wage-and-hour violations, discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment claims, breach of employment contracts, restrictive covenants, trade secrets, and disability accommodation. She also appears before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the New York State Division of Human Rights, and the New York City Commission on Human Rights, and she advises businesses on ADA compliance for both physical premises and websites.

Elizabeth draws on her fact-finding experience as a former criminal prosecutor when she conducts workplace investigations into allegations of sexual harassment, discrimination, misconduct, workplace assault, and employee theft. She provides on-site and remote training for employees and management aimed at preventing workplace issues. Her practice also encompasses representing healthcare networks, hospital systems, physician groups, and administrators in a full range of employment law matters.

"Elizabeth brings exceptional depth, practical judgment, and a true understanding of the challenges employers face in today's rapidly evolving workplace," said Moish Peltz, Co-Managing Partner of FRB. "She has built a strong reputation for guiding clients through sensitive, high-stakes employment matters, and we are thrilled to have her lead this Practice Group."

Consistent with FRB's holistic approach, the Practice Group helps clients stay current with the evolving landscape of federal, state, and local employment laws and supports them on novel workplace issues, including AI implementation and employee training, as well as alternative forms of compensation such as cryptocurrency, stablecoins, and equity. The Practice Group also provides workplace postings, notices, policies, and procedures in languages not otherwise made available by government agencies, further supporting employers' good faith compliance efforts.

"I am honored to step into this role and continue building on the firm's strong Labor & Employment platform," said Schlissel. "Our goal is to help clients navigate workplace issues proactively, strategically, and efficiently, while providing the thoughtful counsel and advocacy they need to protect their businesses and their people."
