Overview
Claire Vujanovic knows that her clients want to focus on one thing: running their businesses. With the ever-changing demands of employment and labor law, this can be difficult--if not impossible--which is why Claire is always prepared to take problems off her clients’ plates so they can keep things running smoothly. Claire has over 20 years of experience practicing as an employment and labor law attorney who provides guidance to management on day-to-day employment and labor issues with an emphasis on anticipating and minimizing risk. As a Field Attorney with the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB") in Chicago, Claire gained invaluable insight into the government’s approach to labor law. As a solo practitioner, she learned the business of law, which allows her to understand much of what her clients deal with on a daily basis. These experiences, combined with her years practicing in larger firms, have made her a well-informed and well-prepared employment and labor lawyer.
Claire also understands that because of the fast-paced nature of this area of the law, problems can crop up for clients without a moment’s notice-- everything changes and evolves very quickly, shifting especially dramatically with changing political winds. Claire’s clients can depend on her to be accessible and responsive, acting quickly to find solutions for issues that arise. She routinely helps clients with matters such as non-compete agreements, contracts, service agreements, human resources services, HR policy and training, HR investigations, U.S. Department of Labor investigations, and NLRB compliance. She is also a skilled traditional labor law practitioner with extensive experience handling collective bargaining, labor arbitrations, unfair labor practice litigation, labor management relations, and union avoidance. Claire has worked with employers in a wide variety of industries and company sizes, so she is prepared to assist any client who needs help with employment and labor issues in Louisville and beyond.
Outside of the office, Claire currently serves on the board of Louisville Girls Leadership, an organization that helps teenage girls access and develop their potential to be leaders in their communities.
