Bringing to his practice deep insight and experience he gained as a prosecutor, litigator Amiel Provosty advises employers nationally in all aspects of traditional labor law, union matters, and personnel issues such as wage-and-hour disputes, terminations, employee performance controversies, and claims of discrimination and harassment.

He gets to know his clients well so he can best advise them on a myriad of policies, problems, and disputes, protect their best interests, and advance their goals.

Whether he’s counseling a Fortune 500 company or smaller concern, Amiel finds it gratifying to facilitate clients’ operational and entrepreneurial ambitions by helping them build and grow their businesses. Part of that mission includes guiding them in matters that arise under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), including union relations, collective bargaining, responding to representation petitions or charges of unfair labor practices, and developing union avoidance strategies, among other issues.

Early in his career, Amiel worked as a union stagehand, a job that contributed to his multifaceted perspective on the industrial labor arena and the entertainment industry.

Amiel also served nine years on a small school board, including three years as its president, and even though the school was a non-profit, it encountered many challenging business issues. In this service, he and the board addressed an array of teacher and staff concerns, including compensation, workplace conditions and culture, day-to-day operations, and funding efforts; in fact, he chaired several capital campaigns. This experience required Amiel to think like an entrepreneur, which today enhances his ability to understand his clients’ businesses’ and deliver top-tier service.
