Willig, Williams & Davidson Welcomes Union Advocate to Firm

CHICAGO (October 2022) – Labor, employment and workers’ compensation law firm Willig, Williams & Davidson is pleased to announce that Brendan J. Crowley has joined the firm as an associate in the labor law practice group. He comes to the firm with extensive experience representing unions and their members in labor matters.

“Brendan has been a lifelong advocate for unions and working people,” said Managing Partner Deborah R. Willig. “Our clients will benefit from his tireless work on behalf of unions to secure the best possible working conditions for their members.”

A seasoned labor attorney, Crowley has years of experience counseling union leaders at various labor organizations. As a staff attorney for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 743 in Chicago, Crowley served as chief negotiator of more than 45 successful collective bargaining agreements on behalf of organizations of all sizes. Prior to that, he served as a labor advocate for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 28, where he negotiated contracts and handled grievance settlements and a wide variety of other employment matters.

“Labor unions face incredible challenges; they do not have the resources that major corporations do, and many labor laws are hostile to unions,” said Crowley. “Willig, Williams & Davidson has the ability to level the playing field to help working people traverse these liabilities, so their unions are in the best position to represent the membership.”

Crowley earned his law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law, where he received certificates in labor and employment law and litigation and alternative dispute resolution. He received a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Iowa.
