Employment Law

At Ford • Conlon • Gerberding • Grier, a significant part of our practice is vigorously representing employers in state and federal court in discrimination, whistleblower, wrongful termination, and other labor and employment litigation. We are also experienced in counseling clients in connection with virtually any employment or labor law issue associated with litigation avoidance, corporate transactions, employment agreements, non-compete agreements and emerging issues in employment and labor law. Our attorneys have expertise in all areas including employee discipline, harassment claims, workplace violence, privacy, employee handbooks, affirmative action compliance, labor relations and collective bargaining, maintenance of a union-free work environment, mergers and acquisitions, workforce reductions, wage and hour issues, OSHA and MIOSHA, and the enforcement of non-competition and confidentiality agreements.

Even with the most careful planning, employment-related claims often arise. Our attorneys represent employers in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies such as the national Labor Relations Board, the Michigan Employment Relations Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Michigan Unemployment Agency and the Workers’ Compensation Bureau.
