LOS ANGELES, October 15, 2024 – Proskauer, a leading international law firm, is proud to share that partner Anthony “Tony” Oncidi has been included in the Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2024 Leaders of Influence: Labor & Employment Attorneys list for the second year in a row. The annual list honors outstanding labor and employment lawyers in the Los Angeles region who have a finger on the ever-changing pulse of labor and developments.

Tony is the co-chair of Proskauer’s Labor & Employment department and heads the West Coast Labor & Employment group in the Firm’s Los Angeles office. He possesses a wealth of experience in all aspects of labor relations and employment law and represents large nationwide clients in a variety of industry sectors, including media and entertainment, A-list celebrities and their production companies, healthcare, higher education and large financial institutions, to name a few. His influence reverberates throughout the LA legal landscape as he regularly works on the cutting edge of new and developing issues in employment law in the Golden State. Tony is also consistently recognized as a leading lawyer by publications such as the Los Angeles Daily Journal, The Los Angeles Times, Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter and Chambers USA. Earlier this month, Tony was also named to Benchmark Litigation’s “Top 50 Labor & Employment Partners” list.

A go-to employment lawyer in Los Angeles, Tony maintains strong relationships with an impressive roster of clients including the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (the “GRAMMYs”), Viacom, Paramount Pictures, FOX, Sony Music, the NBA, the NFL, Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. and Creative Artists Agency, among many others. Notably, he is lead counsel for the GRAMMYs overseeing all employment matters, counseling and litigation and has served as counsel for Creative Artists Agency for more than 20 years. Tony is a “lawyer’s lawyer” in that he represents a number of major nationwide law firms in defending claims asserted against them by current and former attorneys and staff. Tony is also a valued partner to C-suite executives, boards of directors and major media players for issues involving discrimination, harassment and diversity challenges, coaching them as they create more diverse and equitable workplace cultures grounded in transparency and gold-standard corporate governance.

As well as maintaining a successful practice, Tony is also a Board member of Teach Democracy (formerly the Constitutional Rights Foundation) and a sought-after speaker on employment law topics for prominent organizations and bar associations throughout California.
