    Speakers: John Falcone and Luke Malloy, III - Petty, Livingston, Dawson & Richards Law Firm

    John Falcone has been a trial lawyer since 1978, when he began his career as a prosecutor in the Lynchburg Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. When he left that office in 1980 to enter private practice, he had attained the rank of Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney and gained extensive jury trial experience. Since entering private practice, he has extensive experience representing plaintiffs and defendants in the Federal and State courts of Virginia, as well as in appellate courts.

    John now handles civil litigation matters, employment law, and media law issues. His employment law practice includes counseling management, litigation services, and handling employment claims with administrative agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Virginia Employment Commission, and the U.S. Department of Labor. Some of the many employment issues he handles include discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful discharge, noncompetition disputes, wage and hour claims, breach of contract, and employee benefits. John also assists employers with the preparation and revision of employee handbooks, employment contracts, severance agreements, noncompete agreements, and other forms of planning designed to avoid employment disputes. To keep his clients informed, John also regularly updates PLDR’s Employment and Labor blog concerning recent developments in employment law.

    John’s media law practice includes the representation of newspapers, radio stations, and television stations. He assists clients with Freedom of Information Act issues, subpoenas to reporters, and defamation claims. He also represents television stations seeking to obtain access into courtrooms for their video cameras and audio recording equipment. His representation of the Virginia Association of Broadcasters for many years has involved court appearances in many courts throughout Virginia, including trial and appellate courts.
