About

Brenda H. Feis is a founding partner of Feis Goldy LLC, a boutique employment law firm dedicated to advising, negotiating and litigating claims on behalf of individual employees, managers and executives. Her first career was as a defense-side employment litigator and equity partner at the international law firm Seyfarth Shaw, representing Fortune 100 companies in a wide array of employment disputes. When she decided to "switch sides," she launched her plaintiff-side career as a partner at the nationally preeminent civil rights class action boutique Stowell & Friedman where she obtained substantial recoveries and successful outcomes for individual employees, in both litigation and pre-litigation settings. In addition to practicing law, Ms. Feis also serves as a neutral in investigations, training and counseling matters and teaches employment litigation at Loyola Law School.

Ms. Feis graduated from Duke University Law School where she was a member of the Duke Law Journal Editorial Board. She is a Fellow in the College of Labor & Employment Lawyers, and has been repeatedly recognized as an Illinois Leading Lawyer in Employment Law.
