"We expect his integration into our team to be an easy one as his qualifications are complementary to ours."

Allen Roberts, Managing Shareholder of the Firm's New York office and a Member of the Firm in the Labor and Employment practice said, "David and the practice he brings perfectly complement the Firm and our New York and New Jersey offices. We know the value of adding talent that looks to build on EBG's historic strengths and its vision for managed, quality growth. In talking with David, we saw a shared awareness of the direction of the Firm and the development of our Labor and Employment practice, as well as its integration with our core strengths in certain industries, particularly health care and life sciences, financial services and hospitality."

"Being part of one of the top Labor and Employment practice in the country will provide enormous opportunities for my practice and clients," said Garland. "I was drawn to the Firm because of its outstanding reputation and the breadth and depth of its labor and employment law experience. Equally important, the Firm shares my commitment to client service and value. I look forward to working with the entire labor and employment team in an effort to continue to strengthen the practice."

George Sape, the Firm's Managing Director said, "David will be a great addition to our labor and employment team who are well-versed in the relevant issues that affect our clients in various industries, including the financial services, hospitality and health care sectors to name a few."
