That early exposure to public service shaped his approach to labor and employment law: hands-on, pragmatic, and always focused on the people involved.

Paul’s career started on the union side, where, unlike many young lawyers, he immediately engaged in direct client work—negotiating police contracts and representing officers in disciplinary matters. Now, with decades of experience on both sides of the table, Paul concentrates his practice on helping employers prevent workplace disputes before they escalate. He regularly advises municipalities, school committees, and private employers—ranging from two dozen to over a thousand employees—on performance management, risk mitigation, and compliance with a constantly changing legal landscape.

In an era where state and federal laws frequently expand employee rights and protections, Paul is a valuable resource for employers seeking clarity and confident guidance. His public sector clients, in particular, rely on him to help navigate not only budgetary constraints but also the heightened scrutiny that comes with government service. Whether advising a school district, representing a town in arbitration, or responding to a civil rights claim, Paul’s priority is to find practical solutions that protect both organizational integrity and public trust.
