“The legal landscape for employers is always shifting. But tracking developments in the law is only half the battle—you have to know your clients’ objectives. I take pride in finding efficient solutions that match our clients’ needs, whether it’s proactively meeting a change in the law or tenaciously defending an employer’s rights.”

Ibrahim advises public and private employers in all areas of labor and employment law, and also assists in representing employers in litigation. Ibrahim was a Summer Associate at the firm in both 2014 and 2015.

During Ibrahim’s final year of law school, he served as a Judicial Extern for Hon. William M. Skretny in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. He also served as Executive Publications Editor for the Buffalo Human Rights Law Review. Before law school, Ibrahim interned at the New York State Division of Human Rights and the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office.
