Business leaders continue to prioritize talent. Organizations' commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is key to attracting talent and customers. While DEI faced challenges in 2023, a recent Workday survey of 2,600 global business leaders—including CEOs and leaders from HR, finance, IT, and sales—reveals that 78% say the importance of DEI increased in the past 12 months, with 85% stating they have budget for DEI initiatives—an increase of 11% compared to last year’s survey. As the workforce rapidly changes, companies seeking to resolve employee concerns while also complying with employment laws turn to attorney Nathaniel Glasser, an astute workforce compliance counselor with a litigator’s mind and experience.

Nathaniel's relatable and practical approach has made him a highly sought-after advisor to businesses adjusting to today’s greatest challenges, including artificial intelligence (AI) and workplace technology.

As a co-leader of Epstein Becker Green's AI practice group, Nathaniel advises clients on how to maximize the benefits of AI in recruitment and selection while minimizing potential risks. During the pandemic, he co-led the firm’s COVID-19 Compliance practice group and worked with a variety of clients to address the changing workplace, including the shift to remote and hybrid work and the implementation of greater workplace technology.  Nathaniel regularly counsels clients with respect to AI governance, evaluation of AI tools, and the conduct of bias audits. 

Nathaniel prepared multiple clients for the implementation of New York City Local Law 144, governing “automated employment decision tools,” has overseen bias audits and validity studies regarding AI tools deployed in the workplace, and advised clients with respect to designing effective AI governance models.  

Whether he’s addressing discrimination and retaliation claims, wage-and-hour concerns, whistleblower complaints, or trade secret and employee mobility issues, Nathaniel handles the situation with a sensitivity to its impact on his clients’ business operations and the individuals involved. He also provides workforce compliance counseling, handles employment-related litigation, conducts internal investigations, and performs employment-related due diligence in advance of company transactions. 

Companies in the health care, telecommunications, financial and professional services, retail, and hospitality industries regularly call on Nathaniel to manage all facets of the employment relationship within their workforces. An avid runner, who has raced in over a dozen marathons, Nathaniel helps clients take practical steps that lead to a successful future.

Nathaniel received his undergraduate degree, cum laude, from the University of Pennsylvania, and his law degree from New York University, where he served as an Executive Editor for the Journal of International Law and Politics.  Following law school, Nathaniel clerked for the Hon. William G. Bassler of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (2004 to 2005).
