Ira M. Saxe

Ira advises companies of all sizes, from leading multinationals to those with modest or no in-house counsel presence, on their global operations. On the litigation front, Ira provides defense strategies in class and collective actions, single-plaintiff litigation, and administrative agency proceedings, as well as in matters related to breach of contract, wrongful discharge, and workplace tort claims. A significant portion of Ira’s practice includes counseling clients on mission-critical issues, such as human resources management, employment mobility, equal employment opportunity matters, and Inflation Reduction Act compliance.

Above all, Ira prides himself on his responsiveness and consistent availability to assist clients as they face employee relations challenges in real time. In 2023, Ira was named to the “Stand-out Lawyers” list by Thomson Reuters, which recognized attorneys for their efforts in areas including client satisfaction and client advocacy.

Before entering private practice, Ira worked as a field examiner intern at the National Labor Relations Board, where he investigated unfair labor practice charges and processed representation petitions. He later worked as a compliance specialist, senior compliance specialist, and acting deputy assistant director with the City of New York, where he conducted and supervised compliance reviews of contractors' compliance with applicable equal employment opportunity/affirmative action requirements, and negotiated related corrective action agreements.
