Erin McAdams Franzblau is a partner of Croke Fairchild Duarte & Beres’ Employment & Labor Practice. With nearly 15 years of experience, Erin is a seasoned management-side employment counselor and litigator, and has experience in nearly every sub-specialty of employment law.

In her counseling practice, Erin assists organizations with a wide range of day-to-day employment issues, including personnel policies and procedures, executive employment and independent contractor arrangements, accommodations, restrictive covenants, and employee misclassification risks. She is experienced in all stages of litigation, from inception through trial and post-trial appeals, and she has won summary judgment for her clients on a range of employment matters.

In her transactional practice, Erin regularly drafts restrictive covenants and executive compensation agreements, and acts as employment counsel for M&A transactions. As a workplace investigator, Erin also conducts internal investigations on behalf of employers. In addition, she partners with organizations to conduct proactive audits of their HR policies, procedures, and practices, helping organizations identify and address potential gaps before they present risks. She brings a thorough, even-handed approach to these engagements, drawing on her broad litigation background to ensure that investigative findings are defensible and well-positioned to withstand potential scrutiny.

Prior to her current firm, Erin practiced employment litigation at an international law firm and began her career clerking for two years for the Honorable William J. Zloch, United States District Judge of the Southern District of Florida.
