Head Law Firm, LLC

What Head Law Firm, LLC does

Head Law Firm, LLC is a Chicago-based plaintiffs' employment law firm founded in 2015 by C. Andrew Head, who left a partner role at Holland & Knight, LLP to exclusively represent employees in wage and hour disputes. The firm's core offering is legal representation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage laws, with three service modules: Overtime Law (individual, collective, and class actions for unpaid overtime and minimum wage violations), Employment Individual & Class Actions (discrimination, harassment, FMLA, and whistleblower claims), and Employee Rights Consulting (severance negotiation and employment agreements). The firm operates on a contingency fee basis — clients owe nothing unless the firm recovers through settlement or judgment — and the firm advances all litigation costs, aligning incentives with employee-plaintiffs.

The firm is led by founding attorney C. Andrew Head (20+ years of employment law experience, formerly of Holland & Knight) and Senior Associate Bethany Hilbert (13+ years of experience, joined October 2017 from an employer-side practice). Notable outcomes include class/collective action settlements against Brickman Group ($6.95M, 839 individuals), Mariano's ($3.33M, 104 managers), Red Robin ($2.95M), Earth Fare ($1.2M), Micros Systems/Oracle ($925K), Academy Mortgage ($925K), and Fannie Mae ($500K). Operations are run from a Chicago office at 4422 Ravenswood Ave with a virtual Atlanta presence at 730 Peachtree St NW; cases are handled in federal district courts nationwide.

The go-to-market is sales-led via direct attorney-client engagement: prospective clients reach the firm through website consultation requests, phone calls, and organic search driven by an educational blog covering overtime rights, FLSA exemptions, and wage violation topics. The firm is founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, parent company, or subsidiaries. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the firm operates with 1-10 employees.
