Collins, Loughran & Peloquin, P.C. consists of five attorneys engaged in the full-time practice of labor, employment, education and special education law on behalf of municipalities, school committees and other employers. Collectively, we have over 135 years of experience representing municipal employers in all facets of labor and employment law, including collective bargaining, litigation, counseling and training. Our attorneys have frequently been called upon to speak to groups of attorneys and groups of employers on cutting edge employment and labor law issues. We believe in heading off issues before they become problems. For that reason, we encourage clients to call us before making decisions that have the potential to lead to costly litigation. Because four of our attorneys have at least twenty-eight years' experience, you always have access to an experienced labor and employment attorney to help guide you through the minefield of statutes, regulations and court cases bearing upon the employer-employee relationship in the municipal setting. We are committed to achieving the best results for our clients at the least possible cost. Our attorneys have thousands of hours of experience at the bargaining table on behalf of unionized employers. We are thoroughly familiar with the intricacies of employer-union dealings and we are skilled at drafting contract language that will have the results intended by our clients. Our attorneys are experts in labor and employment law as it relates to educational institutions, and these issues make up a large portion of the legal work generated by schools. However, we are also experienced in dealing with the myriad other issues that school committees and educational institutions must face, including special education, student discipline , contracts and public bidding, open meeting law, public records law, civil rights, and more.
