Lauren Hoye advocates for labor unions and individual employees before state and federal courts around the country. She appears on behalf of clients in arbitrations, negotiations and administrative proceedings before relevant administrative agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board (PLRB). A considerable portion of her practice is devoted to counseling and training on public and private sector labor law as well as employment law and employment disputes. She helps her clients by troubleshooting in urgent situations, developing creative solutions that will assist in resolving their issues and offering an empathetic ear during difficult times.

Lauren’s commitment to representing employees began while she was a law student in the University of Pittsburgh Unemployment Compensation Practicum at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. As a law student, Lauren advocated for indigent unemployed workers in Western Pennsylvania, representing them at their unemployment compensation hearings and pursuing their cases to the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania. She continues to practice in the areas of unemployment compensation law in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Lauren has served as a speaker and instructor for the American Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Bar Institute, the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board and Bureau of Mediation, the AFL-CIO Lawyers Coordinating Committee, and the Labor and Employment Relations Association, as well as other organizations. She has spoken on topics ranging from legal ethics, to social media, to practical skills training.

Lauren serves as an arbitrator in the compulsory arbitration program of the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas. She is a proud volunteer with the Support Center for Child Advocates, representing abused children in the child welfare system.

WHAT INSPIRES ME ABOUT MY WORK

“My clients are what inspire me—whether it is a labor union working hard to represent and advocate for its members, or an individual employee who isn’t afraid to challenge unfairness in the workplace.”

AWAY FROM WORK

“Away from the office, I spend as much time with my husband and our two sons as possible!”

  • In the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, successfully obtained summary judgment for a labor union client in a duty of fair representation and discrimination case. Summary judgment in favor of the client was affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
  • In the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, obtained an order affirming the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board in a case involving unlawful discrimination by an employer against employees for engaging in activity in support of their union.
  • In the Chester County Court of Common Pleas, obtained a judgment in favor of a labor union client following trial in a case involving a claim of defamation.
  • Handled hundreds of unemployment compensation cases, including Referee’s hearings and appeals to the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review and the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.
