Honigman's Labor and Employment department is recognized for its breadth of capability, level of responsiveness, and ability to appreciate and meet client objectives. Serving both U.S. and foreign clients, we provide comprehensive counseling, strategic planning, and litigation services to a wide variety of industries.
We focus on gaining a clear understanding of the full context of each client’s situation and then on developing strategies to protect their interests and meet their business goals.
Our emphasis is on helping clients avoid and reduce exposure to employment claims. We function as full-service human resources counselors, assisting clients with federal, state, and labor law local compliance issues. We also provide workplace training on employment law, audit existing employment practices, and help clients to establish operations and good practices across the country during expansions. We regularly counsel clients on traditional labor issues as well, including union avoidance and collective bargaining agreements.
Beyond day-to-day counseling, we are known for our expertise advising clients on transactions of varying levels of complexity. We review deal agreements and diligence and help clients analyze and price employment law risks. We also negotiate executive and officer employment agreements and incentive arrangements, help transition key executive relationships, and assist with post-closing employee onboarding issues.
