Grube Brown & Geidt LLP

The marketplace for employment law is changing. Plaintiffs are more aggressive, pursuing ever more class litigation, using penalty statutes to get around class certification requirements, and taking more cases to trial. Facing this onslaught, employers look for counsel who are effective at every turn - diplomatic in early negotiations and, where necessary, aggressive at trial. In 2014, Jeff Grube, Lisa Brown, and Tom Geidt formed GBG, an employment boutique firm dedicated to client excellence, practical advice, and aggressive trial and complex litigation defense. Heather Morgan joined GBG in February 2017, helping to augment our litigation practice and bringing with her deep experience advising clients on pay equity and a host of other personnel practices issues. Our most recent partner, Jennifer Svanfeldt, joined the firm in March 2018, strengthening GBG's formidable roster of class action, trial and appellate attorneys. With decades of experience under their belt, multiple jury and bench trials, and countless motion wins, Lisa, Tom, Heather, and Jennifer bring the excellence of a nationally recognized employment practice to a boutique environment of personal relationships and greater value to clients. Focusing on employment law defense and compliance, GBG strives to address the needs of corporate clients facing adverse actions by current and former employees. Whether it is a single-plaintiff demand letter or a multidimensional class action, we will approach it in a way that makes sense for each client, and will recommend the best course of action.
