James Patrick Langendorf Esq

Mr. Langendorf, Jim to almost everyone, has 23 plus years of experience in corporate and business advising and employment law. While his employment law practice is broad based, he is concentrated on claims for unpaid overtime and minimum wage. At Hurley Law, he is the employment law leader. He has resolved all kinds of employment claims in state and in federal courts across Ohio. He has been co-lead counsel in multi-million dollar class actions, and he has litigated many FMLA and Title VII actions. He has helped corporate and business clients navigate employment and contractor relationships with employees, vendors, partners, buyers, sellers, and regulators. He has negotiated employment agreements and severance agreements with new and departing executives, doctors, and sales pros.

In addition to his experience in employment matters, Jim has a degree, and years of experience, in corporate accounting. His uniquely powerful legal and financial toolkit allows Jim to create or deconstruct financial statements, see true damages, analyze due diligence reports, make useful NOI calculations, and imagine value added pro-forma P&Ls for commercial real estate deals. Jim makes and advises multi-million dollar real estate deals and he advises business mergers and acquisitions; and he loves that work.

You can be confident that Jim and the team at Hurley Law can advise and guide you or your business through transactions and disputes, both in and out of court.
