Mr. Tripp has represented employers in matters pending before federal and state courts and administrative agencies covering the entire gamut of employment-related claims. His focus is the defense of class and collective action lawsuits under federal and state wage-and-hour laws, and the provision of preventive advice regarding wage law compliance and class action avoidance. He has defended dozens of putative wage-hour class and collective actions, ranging from “white-collar” misclassification actions to claims brought in behalf of hourly employees seeking to recover unpaid minimum, regular and/or overtime wages, amounts unlawfully deducted from wages, unpaid commissions, and gratuities. Mr. Tripp has spoken about wage-and-hour matters to numerous industry and professional associations. He has also served as a mediator for class and collective action cases and co-teaches a seminar on wage issues at Fordham Law School.
