Chicago, IL (July 5, 2017) – Epstein Becker Green (EBG) is pleased to announce the expansion of its Chicago office with the hire of Brian E. Spang. Mr. Spang joins the firm as a Member of EBG’s Employment, Labor & Workforce Management practice after an esteemed tenure at McGuireWoods LLP.

Mr. Spang has nearly two decades of experience defending class actions, litigating trade secret and restrictive covenant cases, and handling employment disputes in federal and state courts nationwide. His class action experience includes representing a national bank defending wage and hour class and collective actions; defending Fortune 500 companies in the staffing, financial services, and trucking industries against wage, benefit, and contract claims; and litigating multiple class actions in California, Illinois, and New York. Mr. Spang has also litigated single-plaintiff employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation, FLSA, and FMLA cases and obtained and defended against emergency temporary restraining orders in jurisdictions across the country.

“We are thrilled to welcome Brian into our growing Chicago office, and to add an attorney of his caliber to our labor and employment practice nationally,” said Peter A. Steinmeyer, Member of the Board of Directors and Chicago Managing Shareholder. “Brian brings wonderful experience to our firm and seasoned judgment that is highly valued by employers. His credentials will expand our depth in workforce management issues, and his specialties will further develop our boutique practice on a national scale, which continues to be our strategy.”

“I am looking forward to being part of the EBG labor and employment team and its Chicago office. EBG’s nationally-known workforce management issues platform provides me with terrific resources to serve my clients, both regionally and nationally,” said Mr. Spang.  “I am excited to join and partner with EBG to expand both my practice and the firm’s.”

Mr. Spang graduated with honors from the College of William & Mary and earned his J.D., magna cum laude, from the University of Illinois College of Law. Following law school, he clerked for U.S. Magistrate Judge Roger B. Cosbey (retired) in the Northern District of Indiana.
