Biography:Mr. Torchia's practice is concentrated in commercial litigation with an emphasis on employment law. He routinely and successfully represents local, regional, national, and international businesses of all sizes in state and federal courts throughout the country on a variety of litigation matters. When he first joined the firm in 1995, he established an employment law department which has expanded to include representative clients such as manufacturers, national health care providers, large contractors, financing institutions and a multitude of small and mid-size businesses. He is a frequent lecturer in programs that advise and train other attorneys, speaks extensively on employment law and litigation topics and is often asked to present in-house training and seminars for clients. Mr. Torchia is a well-known investigator, and is routinely hired by other attorneys and corporate executives to investigate workplace misconduct including claims of sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation. Mr. Torchia has developed programs and lectures on workplace investigations as well. Mr. Torchia's personal style of becoming intimately familiar with the client and the client's goals and objectives has allowed him to accurately provide preventative strategies and advice in crisis situations, and it is those qualities that have attracted and maintained his loyal client base. Clients generally are drawn to two of Mr. Torchia's opposing characteristics, that is, his easy-going style with clients versus his aggressive and tenacious style in the courtroom. Mr. Torchia is very involved in community activities and is a Chancellor Emeritus of his law school alumni association. Mr. Torchia enjoys an AV Rating from Martindale-Hubbell; has been recognized as a Preeminent Lawyer by Martindale-Hubbell in the fields of litigation and employment law; and was chosen as a 2007 and 2008 "Leader in the Law" by Philadelphia Business Journal.
