Labor & Employment Litigator Eric Su Joins Crowell & Moring
Eric Su has joined Crowell & Moring’s New York office as a partner in its Labor & Employment Group.
In a release, the firm said Su will oversee government investigations and class and collective action litigation involving alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, Davis Bacon Act, and other federal and state wage-and-hour laws. He joins the firm from FordHarrison LLP, where he was the managing partner of its New York office and co-chair of its Construction Practice Group.
The firm said Su handles investigations by federal and state labor departments, law enforcement, and municipal agencies concerning wage-and-hour issues, including compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act, Service Contract Act, and state “little Davis Bacon” and other similar laws such as the New York Real Property Tax Law 421-a, and the New York Wage Parity Act. He works on workplace issues, including compliance with wage-and-hour and EEO requirements, employment and separation agreements, and day-to-day personnel matters. He is a Certified Fraud Examiner and is one of the most senior Mandarin-speaking management-side labor and employment litigators in the country.
Su frequently participates in industry and regulatory-agency speaking engagements alongside federal and state labor department investigators, where he advises business owners and their accountants on how to navigate the requirements of labor and employment laws and regulations and handling and resolving government investigations.
Born in Taiwan, Su earned his bachelor’s degree in history and international relations at Johns Hopkins University, his master’s degree in international relations at The London School of Economics and Political Science, and his law degree at Vanderbilt University Law School.
