Firm Description:

Connelly Sheehan Harris, LLP represents management exclusively in all types of labor and employment matters. We handle employment litigation and advise clients everywhere in the United States. We think with both sides of the brain. We get the New York Times crossword puzzle right. We draw cartoons as well as conclusions. We do our own dishes. We throw on first down. We quote Dylan as well as Darrow. We even have a philosophy: don't waste time or resources; approach each case or question creatively; and whenever possible, enjoy it.
