Maureen Binetti

Maureen Binetti is chair of Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer, P.A.’s Employment Law practice and has been a shareholder  since 1990. Ms. Binetti has a nationwide reputation as a leading employment lawyer and a long history of success as a trial lawyer. Her areas of focus include litigation, arbitration, negotiation, mediation and investigation of employment law disputes, as well as employment advice to both employees and employers. Ms. Binetti also handles public accommodation discrimination cases.

Ms. Binetti’s extensive experience in managing both sides of employment disputes uniquely qualifies her to perform neutral services. Therefore, in addition to her litigation practice, Ms. Binetti often serves as an independent investigator of internal employee complaints, and as a state-approved mediator and arbitrator of employment claims.  She has investigated all types of internal workplace complaints over more than 25 years, often resulting in the amicable resolution of potential legal issues.  In addition, she has successfully mediated more than 850 employment law claims over the past 17 years, many pursuant to the early mediation requirement of all employment disputes by the New Jersey state courts, thereby helping parties avoid costly, risky and emotionally exhausting trials by resolving the majority of the disputes at an early stage, prior to discovery.
