Ibrahim's practice couples labor and employment litigation with strategic and day-to-day employment law counseling for business owners, executives and human resources professionals.
Among his litigation experience, Ibrahim represents employers through the full scope of employment law claims, including unlawful terminations, workplace harassment, discrimination and retaliation, disputes over employee family and medical leave, unpaid wage or benefits claims, and litigation over employment and non-compete agreements. He represents employers before all state and federal courts in New York, as well as in administrative proceedings within the New York and U.S. Departments of Labor, the New York State Division of Human Rights, the New York City Commission on Human Rights and the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
As a trusted employer advisor, Ibrahim has in-depth experience in advising organizations of all sizes on strategic or company-wide issues. His work includes counseling companies through complex matters such as hostile executive transitions, negotiating management or employee separations, advising on layoffs and reductions-in-force through WARN Act considerations, the safe and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence, and serving as an investigator in response to internal claims of troubling workplace conduct. He also serves as an outside trainer to both employer workforces and management on issues such as anti-harassment requirements.
Ibrahim's counseling practice also includes regular advice on day-to-day workplace or human resources matters, including managing legally-protected employee leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, New York Paid Family Leave and similar laws, hiring-and-firing compliance, wage-and-salary matters and contractual matters such as employment and compensation agreements.
In addition, Ibrahim serves as a member on the firm's Hiring Committee, and previously served a two-year term on the firm's Associate Advisory Committee.
