Al Feliu has represented clients in all aspects of employment law and
in a wide variety of commercial settings for over forty years. Early in
his career, after clerking for a federal judge, he represented management
clients at prestigious law firms, most notably with Paul Hastings, where
he became a partner in 1991. In 1998, Mr. Feliu founded Vandenberg &
Feliu, LLP, where he headed its Employment Law and Alternative Dispute
Resolution practices. While at Vandenberg & Feliu, he expanded his
practice to include the counseling and representation of executives and
employees. In June, 2016 Mr. Feliu established Feliu Neutral Services,
LLC, following the merger of Vandenberg & Feliu with a mid-size California
firm.
Mr. Feliu brings to his work a wealth of experience from a multitude of
perspectives – as counsel to organizations and individuals, as a
neutral mediating disputes and resolving them as an arbitrator, and investigating
such disputes as an independent investigator. Mr. Feliu’s focus
is on finding solutions to his clients’ legal and business disputes
solutions rather than on promoting adversarial options. It is no coincidence
that the first of his four books, published in 1988, was entitled Resolving
Employment Disputes Without Litigation, that he was Chair of
the Labor & Employment Law Section of the New York State Bar Association,
and that he served as EEO Officer for the Port of New York and New Jersey
from 2006 to 2026. Mr. Feliu is also both a Fellow of the College of Commercial
Arbitrators, for which he is a member of the Board, and a Fellow of the
College of Labor & Employment Lawyers and has been selected as a Super
Lawyer every year since 2009.
