Mr. Farella concentrates on identifying and avoiding problems before they arise for his clients through counseling, development of employment handbooks and workplace policy and procedures.

Super. 254 (App. Div. 2001), which has become the leading New Jersey case on attorney work product privilege. Other reported cases in which Mr. Farella participated are In re Grand Jury, 171 F.3d 826 (3d Cir 1999), Johnson v. Yurick, 156 F.Supp.2d 427 (D.N.J. 2001), United States v. Paster, 64 F.Supp.2d 429 (M.D.Pa. 1999).
