Richard Lehr

Richard Lehr is a founding partner of the firm, and has practiced employment law for more than 30 years. Upon graduation from law school, Mr. Lehr joined a large general practice firm that had not yet established a labor and employment law practice. He spent 14 years with that firm, and was instrumental in developing a labor and employment law practice, which ultimately represented clients on a national scale before founding LMV.

Mr. Lehr's practice ranges geographically from the north slope of Alaska to south Florida, covering the full range of American industries and employment relations issues. His practice model is premised on a creative and aggressive approach to assist his clients to fulfill their business objectives, with an emphasis on what the employer can do, not what the employer cannot do. In addition to representing clients in matters involving representation campaigns and collective bargaining, Mr. Lehr's traditional labor practice has included the largest union decertification in one region of the NLRB, as well as planning the integration of the union and non-union work forces for two multi-national merger partners. He counsels with employers regarding developing and implementing workforce change strategies, without provoking litigation or union organizing.

Mr. Lehr is recognized by Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers and as one of the top labor and employment lawyers according to the Chambers Guide to Leading U.S. Lawyers for Business for his labor and employment work. He is the author, editor and co-editor of several books and articles regarding labor and employment relations issues. He is the past management co-chair of the American Bar Association's Regional Liaison to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and past management chair of the ERISA Litigation subcommittee of the American Bar Association Individual Employment Rights Section.

Mr. Lehr is the Vice Chair of the Manufacture Alabama Workforce Development Committee and is Chair of the Workforce Development Subcommittee of the Governor’s Commission on Manufacturing Economic and Free & Fair Trade. He has been a featured speaker to business groups and trade associations throughout the country. Mr. Lehr serves on the Board of Directors of the Alabama Association of Employers and provides pro bono assistance to several charitable and religious organizations.

When you participate in this Tennessee Attorneys Memo webinar, you’ll learn about these proposed legislative changes, including:

• Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) would eliminate the secret ballot in union-organizing campaigns and require employers to recognize unions based on the "card check" process.
• Re-Empowerment of Skilled and Professional Employees and Construction Tradeworkers (RESPECT) Act would change the law so that many working supervisors, who now are treated as members of management, would be entitled to union representation just as rank-and-file employees are.
• Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) would prohibit employers, employment agencies, and labor organizations from discriminating against workers based on sexual orientation.
• Healthy Families Act (HFA) would guarantee seven paid sick days to employees who work 30 or more hours a week.
• Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act (POWADA) would grant relief to employees filing Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) claims if they could show that age discrimination was merely a "motivating," rather than the "main," factor for the alleged discrimination.
• Paycheck Fairness Act (PFA) would amend the Equal Pay Act to allow for unlimited compensatory and punitive damages for wage discrimination violations, create "opt-out" -- rather than "opt-in" -- class actions, and limit employers’ defenses in pay discrimination claims.
