Angela A. Cronk, a leader in the firm’s Employment and Labor group, is a highly experienced civil litigator with more than 20 years of experience handling complex employment and labor matters. Angela defends employers, health care facilities, and other professionals against claims including discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage and hour matters in state, federal, arbitration, administrative, and appellate venues. She provides preventive and risk management counsel on hiring practices, terminations, workplace investigations, and crafting employee policies. She also regularly defends against various claims made under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title VII, Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

Angela also has significant experience in commercial and business litigation for clients across many business lines, including banking and financial services, insurance, health care, and real estate and land use. She draws on a background handling advocacy, legal analysis, and strategy for mass tort Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) matters for major railroads. In this role, she acted as national counsel, supervised over 250 occupational injury cases, and prepared appellate briefs to the Superior and Supreme Courts of Pennsylvania.

Angela is frequently asked to speak and write on a wide range of significant developments and evolving trends impacting public and private employers. Outside her practice, she volunteers as a Guardian Ad Litem for the Montgomery Child Advocacy Project (MCAP), where she represents children who are victims of abuse and neglect.
