Brian P. Lundgren is a principal in the Seattle, Washington, office of Jackson Lewis P.C. Brian helps employers navigate complex labor relations and workplace disputes, providing practical strategies that align legal objectives with business goals.

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience, Brian represents employers in traditional labor matters and employment litigation. He counsels employers on labor strategy, collective bargaining, contract administration, workplace policies, and labor relations risk management. Brian also advises management teams on responding to organizing activity and maintaining productive labor-management relationships, while helping employers address workplace disputes before they escalate into litigation.

In addition to his labor practice, Brian defends employers in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies in matters involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, whistleblower allegations, and wrongful discharge claims. Having handled hundreds of agency investigations throughout his career, he provides employers with practical guidance and experienced advocacy at every stage of a dispute.

Before entering the legal profession, Brian served as an infantry squad leader in the United States Army while stationed in Friedberg, Germany. That experience continues to influence his disciplined, solutions-oriented approach to client service. Brian graduated second in his class, summa cum laude, from Hamline University School of Law, where he served on Law Review and received the CALI Excellence Award four times. Outside of his practice, Brian enjoys spending time with his family and exploring the trails of the Snoqualmie Valley near Seattle.
