Overview

Employers, we’re on your team. We support you in managing union and nonunion employment relationships and complying with the ever-evolving web of employment, labor, immigration, and safety laws and regulations. Whether you face a class action or single-plaintiff litigation, our attorneys are able to resolve matters quickly and efficiently, defeating them by dispositive motion or winning at trial or on appeal. We collaborate within and across offices and related practices to help you avoid employment, labor management, and immigration issues whenever possible and manage them effectively if they nonetheless arise. Our approach, informed by decades of collective experience, puts your needs first and is what makes Faegre Drinker the “go-to” firm for so many foreign and domestic employers.
