GAIN CONFIDENCE NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX FIELD OF EMPLOYMENT-RELATED LAW. Employers have turned to Dorsey's Employment Law Guides for more than 10 years to gather insight on the varied legal issues, at both the federal and state level, that arise from everyday employment-related decisions. Dorsey’s Employment Law Guides include a comprehensive analysis of federal employment laws, as well as key state law differences in certain jurisdictions where Dorsey’s labor and employment attorneys regularly practice. Dorsey’s Labor & Employment group dedicates the majority of its practice to dispute resolution through litigation, arbitration, mediation or negotiation. Whether the dispute is administrative, single plaintiff or class based, we are known for delivering successful results to employers in FLSA, discrimination, wrongful termination, trade secret and most other claims brought by employees. We are respected, efficient and cost-effective litigators.

The most successful lawsuit, though, is the one that is never filed. So, we spend the rest of our time helping employers develop workplace strategies to manage employment-related risk and implement effective policies and procedures to protect valuable assets and trade secrets. We also support merger and acquisition transactions for buyers and sellers and help companies secure talented foreign nationals through our comprehensive business immigration services. For employers with a unionized workforce or facing union organizing, we help resolve labor law issues. We help clients avoid litigation if possible and defend it when unavoidable. We partner with clients to reduce the likelihood of litigation through effective policies and procedures, training and response plans.
