He regularly counsels public sector employers on employment-related matters. This includes Act 205 compliance for police pensions, advises employers on pension service increments and the creation of DROP programs, works with municipalities on Strategic Management Planning Programs through the Pennsylvania Department of Community Development to develop strategies on the reduction of minimum municipal obligations, and collaborates with other McNees attorneys on the sales of municipal infrastructure assets to resolve pension debt.

He also provides counseling to federal contractors with respect to affirmative action and executive order compliance.

In employment litigation, Langdon represents employers before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, and federal and state courts. He also has extensive experience in conducting internal investigations. In particular, he has experience investigating wrongdoing by c-suite level officials and counseling companies on the strategic removal of those officials, if warranted.
