Dylan Kosson

ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY

Attorney Dylan Kosson joined the Workers’ Compensation practice at Malman Law in July 2024. Before joining the firm, Dylan worked for 7 years as a union-side labor law attorney.

As a labor law attorney, Dylan became experienced in handling a wide variety of cases concerning collective bargaining, arbitration, employee discipline, discrimination, contract grievances, and a host of issues affecting workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. He is an expert in subjects of union administration such as union elections, constitutions, membership drives, and internal union discipline.
Dylan has also served as the acting union president for hundreds of employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs facilities in and around the Chicago area. While serving as acting president, Dylan built up fledgling union locals under his supervision by identifying and training new leadership, as well as handling the concerns of every employee who contacted him. Dylan gained invaluable experience from his role as a union leader, always striving to deliver results for the employees who needed assistance from their union.

Dylan brings this wide breadth of experience to Malman Law. His commitment to the rights of workers has been the defining characteristic of his interest in the law and he is excited to apply his knowledge and passion to the intricate field of Workers’ Compensation.

Dylan graduated from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2017 with a certificate in Labor & Employment Law. While in law school, he was active in the Labor and Employment Law Society and president of the Kent Justice Foundation (KJF), which raises money for law students to work public interest jobs during their summers between semesters.

Dylan grew up in Rockland County, New York and graduated from the Rabbinical College of America in Morristown, New Jersey in 2012. Before law school, Dylan worked as a ghost writer and an aide to a personal injury attorney in Bergen County, New Jersey. He enjoys playing piano, reading history, and riding his bike when it’s warm enough.
