VanderKolk

  • Senior Counsel

From an early age, I was driven by curiosity and a desire to push boundaries — graduating early from both high school and college in pursuit of challenging goals I set for myself. That intellectual drive naturally led me to the practice of law, where I began my career in litigation. Litigating early on gave me valuable insight into how disputes unfold and how they can be prevented. Today, I apply that perspective in my labor and employment practice, helping employers take proactive, thoughtful steps to manage their workforce, navigate complex legal issues and build strong, compliant workplaces that stand on solid ground.

Tiffany VanderKolk is a dedicated labor and employment attorney who has built her career around empowering employers to successfully navigate the complex challenges that arise in the workplace.

Tiffany’s goal is to help employers foster positive, legally sound work environments where both the organization and its employees can thrive.
