About

Biography

A formidable advocate with years of experience, Jon helps guide business, education and healthcare clients through a broad range of labor and employment matters.

Jon focuses his practice on assisting business, education and healthcare clients through complex labor and employment matters such as leadership transitions, collective bargaining, policy and personnel administration. He also helps clients proactively comply with local, state and federal regulations including Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and resolve discrimination and wage/hour claims when they occur.

Clients appreciate Jon’s deep experience in collective bargaining matters, mediation proceedings, grievance arbitrations, hearings and National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) issues in both union and non-union settings, and his ability to advocate, negotiate and reach effective agreements that work for all parties even in the toughest settings.

Jon understands that every industry has unique labor and employment challenges. In education and healthcare, where labor and service delivery is at the forefront, it is crucial to anticipate and address legal details before they become problems. Jon enjoys the challenges of resolving labor and employment issues for clients so they can get back to the business of educating students and caring for patients.

Jon serves as the Office Managing Partner for Husch Blackwell’s Madison office.
