Antonio joined Laner Muchin in 2008 as an associate and has been a partner at the Firm since 2013. Prior to joining Laner Muchin, Antonio was a labor and employment and commercial litigation associate at a mid-size Chicago law firm.  He regularly litigates substantial-exposure employment litigation matters as the lead attorney, with a particular focus on defending employers against single-plaintiff and class action wage and hour lawsuits under federal and state wage laws. 

Another part of Antonio’s practice involves preventative counseling both public and private employers on a variety of day-to-day employment issues, such as terminations, accommodations under the ADA, FMLA compliance, drafting employment agreements and advising on mass layoffs.  In keeping with his approach to minimizing risks through preventative counseling, Antonio has developed extensive management training programs involving non-discrimination and anti-harassment, minimizing legal risks with effective documentation and performance management, and navigating the troubled waters of ADA and FMLA compliance.  Antonio has significant experience in representing employers in the hospitality, healthcare and retail industries.
