Labor & Employment

With a wide geographic reach across the United States and Canada, Dickinson Wright’s Labor and Employment practice group provides broad coverage for public and private organizations. We regularly advise on a full spectrum of employment and labor law issues, helping clients implement effective risk avoidance strategies and litigating disputes for our clients when necessary. Working hand-in-hand with individual clients, we assess their needs and goals in the context of their competitors and surroundings, and then determine the best course of action. We focus a large part of our Labor and Employment practice on preventative counseling. With vast experience helping clients work through a broad spectrum of issues, we regularly advise clients on day-to-day issues, conduct compliance audits and offer onsite training and offsite seminars. We regularly handle claims in courts at all levels and before administrative agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), state civil rights divisions, and other state and federal agencies. Understanding that litigation is costly and time-consuming, and may damage an organization’s reputation, we proactively address issues and assist our clients with establishing effective risk-avoidance strategies to avoid the courtroom. But, when action is necessary, our clients benefit from our creative and efficient approach to single and multiple plaintiff lawsuits.
