Attorney Information
Overview
Jared Cook is a Senior Counsel in Tully Rinckey PLLC’s Rochester office, where he focuses his practice on federal and state labor and employment and commercial litigation.
The bulk of Jared’s litigation experience is in employment law, handling both large class and collective actions and single-plaintiff cases. He has represented both employees and employers in wage and hour cases ranging from tip credit issues to off-the-clock claims under federal law and under the laws of various states, especially in the health care and restaurant industries. Jared has also represented employees in disability discrimination and religious discrimination cases and has advised hundreds of clients, both employees and employers, about their rights and obligations in almost every aspect of employment law.
Jared has also expanded his practice beyond employment law and has developed experience representing construction firms and other commercial parties in contract disputes all over Western New York, as well as experience with shareholder disputes, real estate disputes, and disputes over wills and estates.
Jared also has a keen interest in religious freedom and other legal issues facing religious organizations. In addition to his experience with religious freedom in the workplace, Jared has served as court-appointed counsel in a religious freedom case involving the religious rights of incarcerated people, and he stays up-to-date with legal developments affecting religious organizations.
Jared has experience with all stages of litigation, from investigating a case and filing a complaint to complex discovery and enforcing judgments, but one of his biggest strengths is in complex motions and appeals. Jared has won appellate victories for his clients, both reversing lower court decisions against them, and successfully defending lower court decisions in their favor on appeal.
Jared lives in Pittsford, NY, with his wife, their daughter, and two sons. He is actively involved in local government. He has served as the chair of the Village of Pittsford Board of Ethics, and he currently serves as a member of the Village of Pittsford Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. He also serves actively in his church community, and he enjoys cycling, backpacking, skiing, rock and ice climbing, fly fishing, writing, and cooking with friends and family.
