Dykema Secures Landmark Victory For Employers

                                Our employment law practice group provides legal services to clients ranging from major companies and public employers to businesses in such diversified fields as retailing, manufacturing, construction, transportation, banking and finance, health care, government and education. We also represent employers engaged in broadcasting, civil organizations, construction, transportation, public utilities, warehousing and distribution, and many service industries.

We are actively involved in the litigation of all employment-related matters and regularly represent clients in the federal district and appellate courts. The size and resources of our group enable us to respond rapidly to clients' immediate needs, such as negotiations, administrative proceedings, union organization, strikes and picketing.

While traditional labor law counsel is a major part of our practice, it is by no means all we offer. Over the years, we have been heavily involved in a wide variety of employment-related matters, such as civil rights work, OSHA issues and employee benefits work of all types. In addition, to further meet our clients’ needs, we issue a monthly employment law newsletter and provide seminar and training programs as needed.

• Litigation under state and federal employment and civil rights laws, including, NLRA, ERISA, Title VII, Elliott-Larsen, ADEA, ADA, etc.
• Employment contract litigation, including non-competition issues
