Chloe Carter-Daves joined Spivak Lipton as an Associate in 2024. She previously interned with the firm as a Peggy Browning Fund Fellow in the summer of 2023 and continued as a law clerk during her third year as a law student at City University New York School of Law. Chloe primarily works with the firm’s benefit fund clients and assists in the representation of pension, annuity, 401(k), and other employee benefit funds.

Chloe’s commitment to the labor movement comes from her prior career working as a server and maître d’ at upscale and fine dining restaurants in New York City. Although she found this work rewarding, she was frustrated that rampant labor and employment violations appeared to be a feature of the industry, rather than a bug. After successfully rallying her colleagues to demand employee-friendly changes to the workplace, she decided to attend law school and devote her career to fighting for working people. Chloe strongly believes that unions and the benefits they provide to their members are integral to the economic prosperity of working people, and enjoys being part of Spivak Lipton’s dynamic legal team that effectively represents union and benefit fund clients.

During law school, Chloe interned at Legal Services NYC in the General Housing Unit, where she assisted staff attorneys in representing low-income New Yorkers facing eviction in housing court. She also participated in CUNY Law’s Economic Justice Project, where she worked with organizers from Workers Justice Project and Los Deliveristas Unidos, as well as the law school’s Equality and Justice Practice Clinic, a civil litigation practice clinic with a focus on labor and employment law.

Outside of work, Chloe enjoys knitting, cooking, and spending time with her cats.
