In a strategic move highlighting the fluidity between media companies and law firms, Frank Birchfield has rejoined Ogletree Deakins as a shareholder based in New York. Birchfield makes the transition from Vice Media Group, where he served as vice president of labor and employment, underscoring his extensive experience in this sector.
Birchfield’s expertise lies in managing complex union relations, including defending against unfair labor practice proceedings and participating in labor arbitrations.
