Noel P. Tripp is a principal in the Long Island, New York, office of Jackson Lewis P.C. Since joining Jackson Lewis as a summer associate in May 2005, he has practiced exclusively at Jackson Lewis and has represented employers in matters pending before federal and state courts and administrative agencies covering the entire gamut of employment-related claims. His focus is the defense of class and collective action lawsuits under federal and state wage-and-hour laws, and the provision of preventive advice regarding wage law compliance and class action avoidance. He has defended dozens of putative wage-hour class and collective actions, ranging from “white-collar” misclassification actions to claims brought in behalf of hourly employees seeking to recover unpaid minimum, regular and/or overtime wages, amounts unlawfully deducted from wages, unpaid commissions, and gratuities. 

Noel served for many years as coordinator for Jackson Lewis’ Wage & Hour Law Update blog and has spoken about wage-and-hour matters to the American Translators Association, the Women’s Bar Association of New York, the New York County Lawyers Association, the New York City Bar Association and other industry and professional associations. He has also served as a mediator for class and collective action cases, and co-teaches a seminar on wage issues at Fordham Law School. He previously served on the firm’s Advisory Committee.
