McKenzie & Hughes, LLP

New Mackenzie Hughes Partner Brings Wealth of Labor and Employment Experience
Joseph C. Dole has always had a fondness for hard work and education.

Since earning his law degree from Yale Law School in 1988, Dole has focused his practice on labor and employment law, representing both private and public employers, and with an additional specialization in higher education law. Now Dole, a newly appointed partner at Mackenzie Hughes LLP, looks to expand the firm’s concentration in these areas.

At Mackenzie Hughes, Dole’s practice focuses on all aspects of labor and employment law, including: employment discrimination, collective bargaining and arbitration, wage and hour issues, employee non-competition, employment at-will and employment contracts. In addition to representing employers in the litigation of employment discrimination cases in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies, he will provide counseling to employers in labor and employment matters to minimize the risk of litigation arising out of employment disputes.

“Joe’s invaluable expertise and experience will play an important role in expanding our labor and employment practice,” said Art Wentlandt, partner and chairman of the Mackenzie Hughes Executive Committee. “He’s one of the region’s premier labor and employment law attorneys and we’re thrilled to have him on our talented team.”

Prior to joining Mackenzie Hughes, Dole served as an associate clinical professor at the Cornell University Law School’s “Lawyering Program.” He also served as a visiting professor at Syracuse University's College of Law, teaching legal writing, employment discrimination and labor law classes.

Dole spent 14 years as a labor and employment law attorney at another local law firm where he provided representation and advice on labor and employment matters to a wide variety of private and public sector employees. In particular, he provided counsel and representation to several New York higher education institutions, including Syracuse University, Elmira College, Clarkson University, Ithaca College, and St. Lawrence University, on both employment and student affairs issues.

“Mackenzie Hughes has always been one of the most respected law firms in the CNY community and I’m very excited to be working with so many gifted attorneys,” Dole said.

Dole received a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University in 1983 and a master’s degree in public administration from Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs in 1985. While earning his law degree from Yale Law School, Dole served as a senior editor of the Yale Law Journal. He is admitted to practice in New York, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the United States District Courts for Northern, Western, Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, and is a member of the Labor and Employment Law sections of the American Bar and the New York State Bar Associations.
