Former EEOC Senior Counsel James Paretti Joins Littler in Washington, D.C.
James A. Paretti, Jr. has joined Littler as a shareholder in the Washington, D.C., office. Previously, Paretti was the Chief of Staff and Senior Counsel to Acting Chair Victoria A. Lipnic at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Paretti has close to twenty years of labor and employment public policy experience. He will be a member of Littler’s Workplace Policy Institute® (WPI™), which engages all branches of government to ensure that employers have a voice in legislative and regulatory developments that impact their workplaces and business strategies.
“Jim’s legal, practical and institutional insight and first-hand experience with the EEOC will be invaluable to clients and move WPI to the next level,” Michael Lotito and Maury Baskin, co-chairs of WPI, shared in a joint statement. “At WPI, we’re focused on defining and shaping workplace policy not just for our current clients with interests on Capitol Hill and before federal agencies, but also for future generations who will enter the workforce.”
Prior to his work with the EEOC, Paretti served as Workforce Policy Counsel to the Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce. There, he developed policy, provided legal counsel and helped advance the membership’s agenda relating to labor and employment law, healthcare and pensions. In addition to this work, Paretti’s congressional experience includes serving as Legislative Director (1994) and Special Counsel and Director of Communications (2002-2003) for U.S. Representative Marge S. Roukema (R-NJ).
Paretti also has much experience in the private law sector, in which he represented a range of employers in federal and state employment and labor litigation, and has litigated matters in state and federal court, and before national and state administrative agencies.
He is well accomplished concerning workforce and employment matters, and has presented to local, regional and national trade and employer associations. He received his J.D., cum laude, from the New York University School of Law, where he was an editor of the NYU Law Review. He received his A.B. from Harvard College.
