WEISSMAN & MINTZ

What WEISSMAN & MINTZ does

Weissman & Mintz LLC is a New Jersey-based labor and employment law firm founded in 1999 (firmographics record 1998) by Steven P. Weissman and David A. Mintz. The firm represents public and private sector unions, individual employees, and social justice organizations across offices in Somerset, NJ and New York, NY. Through its union clients, the firm states it represents tens of thousands of workers in contract negotiations, grievance arbitration, and litigation; through its individual practice, it handles civil rights, employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation, health and safety, and free speech matters; and through its social justice organization practice, it advises on organizational campaigns and political activity reporting compliance. The firm has expanded into a dedicated election law and voting rights practice, including representation of Senator Andy Kim in the 2024 Kim v. Hanlon Third Circuit matter that dismantled the county line primary ballot system.

The practice is anchored by approximately 13 attorneys spanning founding members, members, senior counsel, associates, and of counsel. Differentiating talent includes former NJ Public Employment Relations Commission General Counsel Ira W. Mintz, former NJ Deputy Public Advocate Flavio L. Komuves, former NJ Office of Employee Relations Director Kevin P. McGovern, and former NJ AG Labor Enforcement Chief Eve E. Weissman. Service lines include union representation, collective bargaining, labor and employment litigation, individual employee representation, social justice organization support, and voting rights/election law. The firm does not disclose pricing; revenue is generated through professional services billed to institutional union clients and contingency or hourly arrangements on individual matters.

The go-to-market is relationship-led, driven by reputation, bar association participation, referrals within the labor law community, and high-profile case outcomes. The firm maintains a professional website and direct client contact channels but does not operate a content, channel-partner, or paid acquisition motion. The business is privately held as an LLC with no parent company, no public listing, and no disclosed funding rounds.

Broad incumbents

• Proskauer Rose LLP: Proskauer Rose is a global AmLaw 100 firm with one of the largest union-side labor and employment practices in the U.S., serving national and international unions. It overlaps with Weissman & Mintz in collective bargaining, NLRB litigation, and benefits work, but operates at vastly larger scale and as part of a broad full-service portfolio.
• Seyfarth Shaw LLP: Seyfarth Shaw is a large national law firm with a sizable labor and employment practice group representing both unions and employers. While not exclusively labor-side, its labor practice competes for the same major union clients and ERISA fund work that Weissman & Mintz pursues.

Direct peers

• Bredhoff & Kaiser PLLC: Bredhoff & Kaiser is a Washington, DC-based law firm exclusively representing labor unions, employee benefit plans, and labor-related coalitions. Like Weissman & Mintz, it combines sophisticated collective bargaining representation with election law and union-side litigation, making it one of the closest comparables in scope and client base.
• Beeson, Tayer & Bodine APC: Beeson, Tayer & Bodine is a union-side labor law firm in Oakland, California representing public and private sector unions in collective bargaining, grievance arbitration, and litigation. It is comparable as a similarly sized, mission-aligned union-side firm, though geographically serving West Coast clients.
• James & Hoffman LLP: James & Hoffman is a DC-based union-side labor law firm representing public and private sector unions in bargaining, arbitration, and litigation, including civil service and ERISA matters. It is comparable to Weissman & Mintz in mission and practice mix, with overlapping public sector union clients.
• Cohen, Weiss & Simon LLP: Cohen, Weiss & Simon is a prominent union-side labor and employment law firm based in New York City representing national and local unions in collective bargaining, arbitration, litigation, and benefits matters. It directly mirrors Weissman & Mintz's labor-side practice focus and is also within the NY/NJ regional orbit, competing for the same large public and private sector union clients.
• Gladstein, Reif & Moger LLP: Gladstein, Reif & Moger is a NYC-based law firm representing labor unions, worker cooperatives, and employee benefit funds in collective bargaining, arbitration, and employment litigation. Its NYC location and union-side mandate place it in the same competitive set as Weissman & Mintz for major public and private sector union work in the Northeast.
• Schwartz, Steinsapir, Liebman & Nemeth LLC: Schwartz, Steinsapir, Liebman & Nemeth is a Los Angeles-based law firm focused on union-side labor and employment law, representing unions in bargaining, arbitration, and litigation. It mirrors Weissman & Mintz's exclusive labor-side positioning and practice mix, though serving a West Coast union base.

Others

• Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law: The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is a national civil rights organization providing pro bono and impact litigation across voting rights, employment discrimination, and labor matters. It is comparable to Weissman & Mintz in the civil rights and election law dimensions of the firm's practice, though operating as a non-profit rather than a fee-paying firm.
• Make the Road New York: Make the Road New York is a nonprofit advocacy and legal services organization representing low-income workers on employment, immigration, and civil rights matters in the NY/NJ region. While it is not a traditional law firm and serves individual workers rather than unions, it is comparable to Weissman & Mintz as a like-minded mission-aligned organization operating in the same NY/NJ employment law ecosystem for vulnerable workers.
