      Recent experience includes securing victory as lead attorney in a high-stakes and closely watched appeal before the NLRB centering on efforts by the football team at Northwestern University to form the first-ever union of scholarship student athletes. The Cozen O'Connor team persuaded a staunchly pro-labor Board to decline jurisdiction in a unanimous decision. In February 2014, the team of lawyers had only three weeks to prepare the case for a trial that lasted two weeks before the NLRB Regional Director in Chicago. After the expected adverse ruling, we filed an immediate appeal and marshalled the support of nearly two dozen amici, including the NCAA, the Ivy League schools, several major conferences, private universities, and even members of Congress to submit briefs to the Board. The case was covered by every major media outlet, and the unprecedented issue spawned Congressional hearings and nation-wide interest.Note: Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
