Alice Kokodis

OF COUNSEL, LITTLER

Alice A. Kokodis provides practical advice to clients in a broad range of employment law matters. She has extensive experience litigating employment disputes of all types, including defending employers against claims of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wrongful discharge, and wage and hour violations. She has appeared in over 15 jurisdictions on behalf of her clients, and before federal and state courts, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. 

She draws on that litigation experience to counsel employers on effective strategies for avoiding litigation when possible, and preparing for litigation when it is unavoidable. Alice often partners with her client’s legal and HR teams, to provide advice at every stage of the employment relationship, ranging from the initial hiring, to every facet of daily operations, including compensation, performance management and terminations. Alice regularly drafts and negotiates executive employment contracts and severance agreements.

Alice is committed to pro bono activities and has dedicated her time as pro bono counsel to a Boston area nonprofit that provides programs and services aimed at preventing suicide.

In 2019, Alice was also appointed by the Town Moderator to serve on the Human Resources Board for the Town of Wellesley, MA.
