What crivelli & barbati does

Crivelli, Barbati & DeRose, L.L.C. is a privately held New Jersey law firm that represents public-sector labor unions and individual public employees, particularly law-enforcement, fire, corrections, and other government personnel. Its core work covers collective bargaining and contract negotiation, grievance and interest arbitration, unfair-labor-practice litigation, disciplinary proceedings, public-employee pension appeals, workers' compensation, and matters before New Jersey courts and administrative tribunals. It also represents manufacturing unions in contract negotiations with Fortune 500 companies.

Revenue is generated through professional fees for direct attorney-client representation; public pricing and fee arrangements are not disclosed, although the firm advertises a free initial pension consultation. The firm uses direct relationships, referrals, a public-safety-law blog, social media, and presentations at PBA conventions and collective-bargaining seminars for client acquisition. It does not disclose a software platform or proprietary technology: the supplied data lists no API, SDK, integration, or AI modality, while the blog and free legal books function as distribution and educational resources.

Direct peers

• Scarinci Hollenbeck: New Jersey-based full-service firm with a labor and employment practice serving public-sector entities and private employers. Comparable because it competes for the same NJ public-employer and union-side legal work within the same state regulatory regime.
• Capehart Scatchard: New Jersey law firm with a dedicated labor and employment group representing public-sector employers and unions in negotiations, grievance arbitration, and Civil Service matters. Comparable due to overlapping NJ public-sector labor practice and shared client pool of municipalities and bargaining units.
• Florio Perrucci Steinhardt Cappelli Tipton & Taylor: New Jersey-based firm with a public-sector labor practice representing municipalities, school boards, and bargaining units across the state. Comparable because it operates in the same NJ PERC/Civil Service arena and serves overlapping union and public-employer clients.
• Greenblatt Pierce Funt & Flores: New Jersey employment and labor law boutique focused on representing public-sector unions and employees. Comparable due to similar boutique scale, NJ-only footprint, and union-side practice overlap in negotiations, grievances, and disciplinary matters.
• Parker McCay: New Jersey full-service firm with labor and employment attorneys representing public entities, employees, and unions. Comparable because of shared NJ jurisdiction and overlapping representation in collective negotiations, Civil Service, and employment disputes.
• Weiner Law Group: New Jersey-based employment and labor law firm representing both employees and management in disputes, negotiations, and counseling. Comparable due to similar NJ-only footprint and employment/labor practice overlap with public- and private-sector clients.

Broad incumbents

• Littler Mendelson: Largest U.S. labor and employment law firm with a national platform and significant New Jersey presence. Comparable as a competing employment-law service provider to public and private employers, though it typically represents management rather than unions.
• Jackson Lewis: Major national labor and employment law firm with offices across the U.S. including New Jersey. Comparable as a large incumbent in the same practice area, though primarily management-side and broader in scope than the subject firm's union/public-employee niche.
• Ogletree Deakins: National labor and employment law firm with a substantial New Jersey office serving both management and employee-side clients. Comparable due to overlapping NJ labor law practice and similar service categories including litigation, counseling, and ADR.
• Fisher Phillips: National labor and employment law firm with regional offices including New Jersey. Comparable because of overlapping employment-law practice area, though primarily management-side representation and far broader in scale and geography.
