Bill's litigation and trial work includes covenant not to compete and trade secret cases in many states. He regularly represents employers in discrimination and discharge cases, administrative claims, arbitrations and mediations, as well as often acts as a neutral himself.

Bill helps clients maneuver around ever-increasing legal mandates, and has distinctive experience in employee health and leave issues and the many laws that those issues implicate. He also works with clients to design systems and practices to manage these challenges.

In addition, Bill counsels clients on a range of workplace issues, and conducts manager and workplace training to ensure legal compliance on the front lines. In 2018, he has given particular focus to tracking how employers and legislatures respond to #MeToo, and advocates that employers rethink their training models to better address persistent workplace behaviors.

He chairs BTCurrents, the firm’s employment law blog.

A former two-term councilman and mayor of Powell, Ohio, Bill values community. Much of Bill’s “extracurricular” energy is now focused on inclusion and diversity, in part inspired by the firm’s partnership with the Women’s Fund of Central Ohio, which has led to an ongoing series of interactive programs on gender equity in the legal profession.
