Marina Multhaup

Marina joined the firm in 2021 as an Associate Attorney after earning her J.D. from Harvard Law School. She believes that all workers deserve to earn a living wage and be treated with respect at work. During law school, she interned with Southern Migrant Legal Services, a project of the Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid, representing migrant farmworkers, and with Altshuler Berzon, LLP, representing unions. She was a teaching and research assistant to Professor Ben Sachs and was a regular contributor to the Harvard labor blog, OnLabor. In addition, she served as the co-president of the Harvard Law National Lawyers Guild, as a student attorney and mentor for the Prison Legal Assistance Program, and as a student attorney for the Consumer Protection and Predatory Lending Clinic.

Marina’s practice is centered on union-side labor and employment law, where she advises and represents public- and private-sector labor unions in local, state, and federal proceedings. Marina has represented unions in front of the National Labor Relations Board, the Public Employment Relations Commission, and state and federal court. In addition, Marina advises unions and non-profit organizations on a variety of matters, including campaign finance and tax compliance.

Prior to law school, she worked as the Research & Policy Fellow for Professor Joan C. Williams at the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California, Hastings College of Law, where she co-wrote several publications on work and equity, including, What Works for Women at Work: A Workbook, published by NYU Press, and “We Can’t Change What We Can’t See: Interrupting Racial & Gender Bias in the Legal Profession,” published by the American Bar Association and the Minority Corporate Counsel Association.
