Arent Fox LLP announced last week that leading labor and employment lawyer Harry I. Johnson III has joined the firm as a partner in the firm's Los Angeles office. He comes to Arent Fox from Jones Day, where he served as the practice coordinator of the management-side attorneys that made up that firm's labor and employment practice in Los Angeles.

Mr. Johnson counsels clients in addressing issues posed by California and federal labor and employment law. In the traditional labor field, Mr. Johnson has represented clients in NLRB unfair labor practice hearings, union representation campaigns, union corporate campaigns, labor arbitrations, assistance with collective bargaining, and Section 10(j) injunction hearings. In the specific area of discrimination law, he has provided guidance to employers in disparate impact and treatment claims of alleged racial, sexual, age, national origin, disability, and sexual orientation discrimination; harassment claims and investigation; retaliation claims; and disability accommodation.

Mr. Johnson earned his JD degree at Harvard Law School and his Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He was a summer associate at Arent Fox's Washington, DC office. He is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of The Johns Hopkins University, where he earned his BA degree.
