Stearns Weaver Miller’s Labor & Employment Group provides employers with practical, business-focused counseling and representation in all aspects of labor and employment law, including administrative proceedings, mediation, and state and federal litigation.

We work collaboratively with clients to train managers and employees on workplace issues, manage leaves of absence, audit employment practices, ensure wage-and-hour compliance, and draft employment agreements, separation agreements, and employee handbooks. Our team helps protect trade secrets, realign workforces, and comply with federal, state, and local non-discrimination laws.

We also advise on immigration matters, such as temporary and permanent employment-based visas (H-1B, L-1, TN, O, P, E), I-9 compliance, and government audits and inspections.

Our clients include employers of all sizes across a wide range of industries—transportation, pharmaceuticals, technology, healthcare, agriculture, cruise lines, real estate, hospitality, retail, banking, education, professional sports organizations, and law firms.

With deep, hands-on experience in traditional labor law, we support clients in all union-related matters, including organizing campaigns, collective bargaining, grievance administration, arbitrations, union elections, and defending against unfair labor practice charges before the NLRB and in court.
