NELA-NJ

The National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) was founded in 1985 by visionary employment attorney Paul Tobias. His goal was to provide assistance and support to lawyers engaged in the important work of protecting the rights of employees. These rights need to be defended against the greater resources of their employers and the defense bar. NELA is the country's only professional organization that is exclusively comprised of lawyers who represent individual employees. Cases may involve employment discrimination, wrongful termination, employee benefits and other employment-related matters... As a professional organization, NELA advances and encourages the professional development of its members nationwide through networking, educational programs, publications and technical support. The New Jersey chapter holds regular bi-monthly meetings for networking and the exchange of information.
