Timothy Medcoff

Managing Partner

Areas of Practice:

Timothy Medcoff is an AV-rated attorney who represents clients in labor and employment matters, product liability,
insurance coverage and claims, and complex commercial litigation. Known for his practical approach and strong
client relationships, Timothy delivers strategic, results-driven counsel to businesses ranging from closely held
companies to national corporations.

 

Timothy has significant experience handling high-exposure claims, including those involving pharmaceutical and
medical device companies, as well as manufacturers of tires, cranes, and heavy equipment. He regularly handles
serious personal injury and wrongful death litigation and has represented insurers and national rental car
companies in complex matters across multiple jurisdictions. His work in multi-district litigation further enhances his
ability to manage large-scale, high-stakes cases efficiently.

In the labor and employment arena, Timothy advises and defends employers in a broad range of matters, including
discrimination, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, union-related litigation, and the enforcement of
restrictive covenants and trade secret protections. He represents clients in federal and state courts, administrative
agencies, labor arbitrations, grievance proceedings, and collective bargaining negotiations. In one notable matter,
his advocacy resulted in a union disclaiming its interest in a bargaining unit.

Beyond litigation, Tim serves as a trusted advisor on day-to-day employment and business issues, providing
guidance on employee handbooks, workplace policies, internal investigations, contract negotiations, and
partnership disputes.
