Conn Maciel Carey LLP (CMC), a boutique law firm with national practices in labor and employment, workplace safety (OSHA and MSHA), and litigation, is pleased to announce that attorney Hema Steele has joined the firm’s Ohio team as Senior Counsel. She supports the firm’s OSHA, MSHA, and Labor and Employment practices from Cleveland, OH. 
CMC’s Co-Managing Partner, Aaron Gelb, says “CMC is thrilled to have Hema join our team as she brings a fantastic mix of experience gained during 11 years as a solicitor with the U.S. Department of Labor in Region 5 and several years as a management– side L&E attorney in private practice. She understands the government’s perspective, which will make her a particularly effective advocate when representing employers confronted with challenging matters involving workplace safety, labor, employment, wage & hour, and whistleblower claims. While Ms. Steele is the eighth firm attorney based in the Midwest, her practice will be national in scope.”
