CAROLINE POWELL DONELAN
Partner, Labor & Employment
Blank Rome LLP
Caroline Donelan counsels and defends businesses of all sizes in all areas of employment law compliance and litigation, including wage and hour class and representative actions, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, trade secret disputes and data protection, competitive hiring, and alleged fiduciary breaches. Beyond litigation and counseling work, Donelan also routinely provides transactional support and advice on stock and asset purchase agreements.
As her clients will attest, Donelan’s practice transcends a typical employment lawyer’s. As “inside-outside” counsel, she becomes a trusted advisor in multiple areas of client operations including HR, legal compliance, and employee relations. Given her transactional experience, Donelan has business, not just legal, acumen which she leverages for clients in litigation and her proactive risk-management practice. She spends countless hours studying California litigation trends, particularly regarding wage and hour matters, and speaks on and attends expert panels on cutting-edge employment issues.
