About

Provided by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, PC

Ogletree Deakins is the top Indiana law firm pick for employment litigation defense based on federal court filings for the last decade.

Unlike many firms, our labor and employment practice covers the full array of issues affecting the work environment, including workplace safety, immigration, employee benefits, and executive compensation, in addition to the more common areas such as discrimination, retaliation, harassment, trade secrets, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, wage/hour, union avoidance, union campaigns, and collective bargaining.

Our traditional labor practice is one of the largest in the state, lawyers concentrating substantial time in the area, as is our employee benefits/ERISA practice.
