Overview

Jack Moran is a Principal attorney and business litigator that devotes the majority of his practice to employment law and representing employees in litigation across Northeast Ohio and beyond. As a Certified Specialist in Labor & Employment Law, he possesses comprehensive legal knowledge across all aspects of employment law.

In his employment practice, Jack’s clients include former employees being sued for claimed breaches of non-competition or non-solicitation agreements, as well as current or former employees seeking to enforce their rights under overtime laws and anti-discrimination protections. Jack has a thorough understanding of the federal and state laws shielding employees from retaliation, protecting them for whistleblowing, and prohibiting employers from discriminating on the basis of age, race, gender, sex, pregnancy, disability, and religious affiliation. Jack is an aggressive and successful litigator in the courtroom, achieving positive outcomes for his clients throughout state and federal courts and administrative agencies.

Jack has also skillfully handled various non-employment business litigation matters. He has successfully represented at trial and in litigation both owners and contractors in construction disputes, and regularly prevails in foreclosure and other property-related cases. He has also routinely achieved successful tax reductions, for both commercial and residential properties, at county boards of revision.

Jack’s success at trial is counterbalanced by the lucrative outcomes he has achieved for clients outside the courtroom, which have been some of his best results. Jack is a Cleveland native and graduate of Gilmour Academy.

Client Testimonials

"Jack Moran helped me navigate gender discrimination at an executive/officer level, providing guidance for handling it while in the position and after. He successfully guided me through a filing and negotiation that resulted in the best possible result. The advice was practical and rational and based on what was likely and possible. The realistic and honest representation of the situation was extremely valuable throughout the process."
