Freeborn & Peters LLP is pleased to announce that Erin E. McAdams has joined the firm’s Chicago office as a Partner in the Litigation Practice Group, focusing on employment litigation and counseling.
“We are very pleased to have Erin join Freeborn and our highly regarded team of attorneys who help our clients in their day-to-day decisions on hiring, discipline, disability and leaves of absence, and terminations,” said Steven M.

Ms. McAdams helps companies navigate employment laws, and defends employers in a wide range of class, collective, and single-plaintiff disputes before federal and state courts. She regularly counsels and litigates matters brought under state and federal antidiscrimination laws, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). She helps guide employers through sensitive internal investigations involving claims of harassment and discrimination and claims by whistleblowers. In addition, she has an active Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) practice, representing clients in the trucking, locomotive and retail industries in investigations, emergency responses, and litigation against state and federal agencies.

Freeborn’s labor and employment attorneys are well-positioned to represent clients in a myriad of employment issues. The team counsels companies through the ever-changing landscape of employment law, providing guidance on all aspects of workplace issues. The group also regularly litigates single-plaintiff matters at the administrative stage and in state and federal court, and has succeeded in securing judgment for clients on summary judgment and at trial. The group has a robust class and collective action practice, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in class and collective matters brought under the FLSA, ERISA, and antidiscrimination theories.
