About

Provided by Barnes & Thornburg LLP

Attorneys routinely defend clients against claims of wrongful discharge, harassment, discrimination, workplace defamation, breach of contract, invasion of privacy, ERISA violations, illicit drug testing and other federal and state law claims, and enforce noncompetition and non-solicitation agreements. The extensive traditional labor practice defends against unfair labor practice charges and union-organizing campaigns, negotiating and administrating union contracts, and coaching and training on lawful union avoidance techniques.
