Jason Culotta is a partner in the Labor & Employment Practice Group. He focuses his practice on employment litigation, workplace counseling, and emerging workplace issues.
Jason represents employers of all sizes in labor and employment matters across the United States. In his role as national employment counsel for publicly traded and privately held businesses, he routinely handles significant, precedent- and policy-setting disputes and ongoing matters in nearly two-thirds of US states. Jason’s practice combines sophisticated litigation capabilities with comprehensive workplace counseling, allowing him to serve large companies with established legal departments and smaller employers who need broad-ranging labor and employment support.
His keen generalist approach enables him to identify the specific issues at the heart of workplace disputes while recognizing their broader implications for employers.
Among other disputes, Jason litigates complex employment matters involving discrimination claims under Title VII and other federal and state civil rights statutes, breach-of-contract disputes, business torts, non-compete agreements, trade secret violations, fraud claims, fiduciary duty actions, defamation and invasion-of-privacy claims, and wage-and-hour disputes. He has significant trial and appellate experience in both state and federal courts and has represented clients before the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, and other relevant agencies. Jason’s litigation teams have successfully obtained and defended against injunctions and have prevailed on the merits at trial.
Beyond traditional labor and employment work, he advises clients on emerging workplace issues — including AI’s impact on hiring and policy — and on cannabis-related employment policies across varying legal jurisdictions. Jason’s experience in these evolving areas of employment law helps clients navigate the complex intersection of technology, changing social norms, and workplace regulation.
