With comprehensive experience working on employment matters for both federal employees and private companies, Zac brings forward a unique perspective that allows him to “create value for the management side” and to properly “properly advise [clients] on what their potential exposure or liability might be.”

On joining Goldberg Segalla, Zac stated he is looking forward to broadening his horizons as part of a firm with a national presence and that he has been met with warm welcomes since beginning with the firm.

“Having those relationships not only with your colleagues within your office or within the firm, but also with the clients and having those business relationships — relationships make the world go round,” Zac explained when discussing the importance of strong professional relationships in his new role, and how he looks forward to building them.

“We are thrilled to have Zachary join our growing bench of attorneys in our practice group,” said Caroline J.
