Overview

Meredith L. Schramm-Strosser is a candid counselor and ardent litigator for businesses of all sizes, both national and local, in the areas of employment law that impact businesses on a day-to-day basis. Meredith sees her role, first and foremost, as a counselor whose job is to partner with her clients to form creative, yet effective, strategies to their legal challenges which benefit their bottom line and workforce, as opposed to being a costly hindrance. She also knows that a one-size-fits all approach will not work, and Meredith takes substantial time to understand the industry pressures and unique cultures of each of her clients to ensure individualized results.

Should a business find itself faced with legal action, Meredith’s clients benefit from her experience as a seasoned and savvy litigator who will zealously, but pragmatically, represent their interests until the end. On a day-to-day basis, Meredith represents clients in state and federal courts in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia at the trial and appellate levels, as well as in arbitrations before the AAA and JAMS. She also frequently appears on behalf of her clients before administrative bodies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, as well as their state and local counterparts. Meredith successfully represents clients in matters involving restrictive covenant agreements and contract disputes, whistleblower claims, discrimination claims, wage/hour and compensation disputes, among many others.

Meredith started her career representing individual employees, both in the employment and whistleblower context. This experience gives Meredith unique insight into how to prevent, approach, and resolve employment issues in an effective manner.
