Pond Lehocky Giordano said Nov. 4 that Jeremy E. Abay, a whistleblower and class action attorney, has joined the firm to lead its new Haddonfield office and serve as chair of the Philadelphia firm’s national employment litigation group.
This addition expands the firm’s reach into southern New Jersey and strengthens its work in complex litigation involving worker misclassification, health care fraud, and whistleblower protection.
Abay joins Pond Lehocky Giordano after more than a decade of representing whistleblowers, workers, and consumers in major litigation across the country. His practice includes False Claims Act and qui tam cases, wage and hour disputes, and consumer protection class actions. He has secured multimillion-dollar settlements on behalf of taxpayers, misclassified workers, and victims of corporate misconduct.
“Jeremy’s experience fighting for workers and whistleblowers and his proven track record in complex litigation make him an exceptional addition to our firm,” said Samuel Pond, founding partner of Pond Lehocky Giordano. “His leadership in Haddonfield reflects our ongoing commitment to expanding access to top-tier legal advocacy for working people across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.”
Abay served as trial counsel in the first two federal jury trials to address worker misclassification in the gig economy. Over the course of his career, he has litigated against major corporations including Uber, Novartis and Progressive Insurance.
“Jeremy’s experience in whistleblower and class action law, combined with his academic background, brings an important perspective to our team,” said Jerry Lehocky, founding partner of Pond Lehocky Giordano. “He shares our belief that the law should serve as a tool for fairness and accountability.”
In addition to his litigation practice, Abay teaches at Rutgers Law School, where he serves as an adjunct professor instructing courses on employment law in the gig economy, whistleblower advocacy, and deposition advocacy.
Pond Lehocky Giordano is focused on representing injured and disabled workers.
