Phelps Expands Labor and Employment Services in Carolinas
RALEIGH, N.C. — April 7, 2021 — Raleigh ranks second among the fastest growing cities in the nation. With employers flocking to the Research Triangle, there is more need than ever for sophisticated employment legal services. In response, Phelps partner, Day Peake, has moved from the firm’s Mobile office to Raleigh.
Clients respect Day’s candid approach and workable solutions that protect companies but keep employees feeling valued. Throughout his career, he has counseled multi-state employers to resolve complex labor and employment issues. He advises small-scale employers as well as international corporations with thousands of employees. Day helps clients create the right policies and when necessary, helps employers resolve disputes.
Day will be working with firm clients local to the Carolinas and will be well positioned to expand the services the firm provides multi-state employers in Alabama, Tennessee, and around the region.
“Day is an inspired choice to anchor Phelps’ labor and employment expansion in Raleigh,” said Reed Russell, regional practice coordinator for the firm’s labor and employment group. “He provides a trusted advisor on the ground in North Carolina to Phelps clients who have already worked with him. And, his experience working with Phelps lawyers across the region allows him to draw on the depth of our labor and employment team to handle even the most complex and resource-intensive matters.”
Day is already rooted in the Raleigh community. He is an active member of The Pauli Murray LGBTQ Bar Association and North Carolina Chamber of Commerce’s Workplace Issues Policy Committee.
