Ambash has more than 35 years of experience with the labor and employment practice. He has worked to represent a number of cases, especially amongst those with unfair labor cases. Ambash earned his law degree from the prestigious Harvard University and also received an undergraduate degree from Yale University. He has worked as a negotiator for many private sectors and public sectors, helping them to come to agreements.

Ambash says, “Fisher & Phillips has the same dedication to clients that I have applied throughout my career.” He also says, “I look forward to helping the firm grow its practice in Massachusetts and across New England.”

In the meantime, Weintraub has represented employers with negotiations along with elections. He has over 30 years of experience with representing both public and private employers. He has managed many cases, primarily dealing with harassment cases and discrimination cases along with wage issues and other matters. He is active in the Tennessee area along with the Arkansas and Mississippi area. He earned both his law degree and undergraduate degree from Memphis State University.

Weintraub says, “Our clients will benefit from the fact that Fisher & Phillips has labor and employment attorneys all across the country, a number of whom I have worked with over the years. Our practice is both local and national, so this is a natural fit for us. I’m very excited about taking my practice to a national law firm with such a tremendous reputation.”
