Pyle Rome Ehrenberg

What Pyle Rome Ehrenberg does

Pyle Rome Ehrenberg PC is a privately-held union-side labor and employment law firm founded in 1997 in Boston, Massachusetts. The firm exclusively represents labor unions and individual employees — explicitly never employers — across collective bargaining, contract administration, grievance and interest arbitration, unfair labor practice proceedings, wage-and-hour class actions, and discrimination and harassment claims. Its client base spans public- and private-sector unions including firefighters, police, healthcare, retail food, steelworkers, state employees, and hotel workers, as well as advocacy organizations such as Innovets.

The firm operates from three offices — Boston (headquarters), Northampton (Western Massachusetts, opened 2012), and Brattleboro, Vermont (opened April 2024) — making it the only union-side labor firm with multiple New England offices. It does not sell technology products or operate a platform; service delivery is entirely through attorney-client engagement in courts, arbitration tribunals, and administrative agencies including the NLRB, Massachusetts Department of Labor Relations, Vermont Labor Relations Board, and Federal Labor Relations Authority.

Revenue is generated through professional fees for legal services (hourly and matter-based billing, not publicly disclosed). The firm is partner-owned with no external investors or parent company. Notable recent precedent-setting results include a Vermont Supreme Court reinstatement victory for VSEA and an Appeals Court win establishing paid military leave for Commonwealth employees. Management is led by Managing Partner Alfred Gordon O'Connell, with a partner roster that includes attorneys with prior senior roles at the NLRB and FLRA.
