About ERS
Meet Matthew R. Grabell, Esq.
His Story
Employee Relations Solutions ("ERS") was founded after Mr. Grabell enjoyed a successful career as an employment attorney representing employees who felt victimized in the workplace by unlawful discrimination, harassment or retaliation. He has litigated hundreds of employment cases including taking depositions, arguing and defending motions, attending mediations and trials.
Mr. Grabell was struck by how frequently his adversaries lost their cases (or were forced into costly settlements) due to a company's lack of knowledge of the many legal land mines that could have easily been avoided. In 2007, he decided to "switch teams" in order to provide corporations with the legal weapons necessary to limit exposure altogether, while keeping costs of outside law firms down should a lawsuit be filed. ERS opens up the plaintiff's "play book" to corporations who want practical employment law training as well as strategic tips on how to protect themselves from issues BEFORE they become legal liabilities.
Mr. Grabell is the best selling author of "The Employee Lawyer's Playbook - The Top-Ten Mistakes Employers Make That Plaintiff Attorneys Seek To Exploit." He has addressed executives, managers and employees at several corporations, including Showtime, Marvel, Disney/ABC, Imagine Entertainment, Rising Pharmaceutical, CBS Paramount, Wendy's, DCH Auto Group, Revel Entertainment, Bergen Community College, Wyndham Worldwide, Tepper Sports & Entertainment (Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Football Club), and Detroit Tigers. He has also been a repeat presenter at The Garden State Council – SHRM Annual Conference and The Tri-State Human Resources Management Association Annual Conference as well as various local SHRM chapters.
Mr. Grabell received his B.S. degree in Marketing from New York University and his J.D. from Seton Hall University.
