Employer Defense Litigation
While planning and prevention can help minimize risks of litigation, in today’s increasingly litigious society, nearly anyone can file a claim against you in court or through an administrative agency. When your business or municipality faces a labor or employment claim, you need a law firm with extensive experience in this area of law. We regularly represent business employers and public entities in litigation before all state and federal courts, as well as all administrative agencies that regulate aspects of the workplace. Our team brings the depth of experience and resources necessary to vigorously defend you in matters involving:
Traditional Labor Relations
An employer’s non-union status, including the right to deal directly with employees without third-party interference, is an asset that deserves protection. Avoiding unions and winning elections are particularly delicate and complex undertakings that require experience, knowledge, and a proven track record. Employers who must deal with collective bargaining agreements, union grievances, and threats of strikes face complex challenges that require experienced judgment, sophistication, and highly specialized skill.
McGraw Morris Masud has successfully negotiated hundreds of collective bargaining agreements, won numerous arbitration hearings, and efficiently resolved work stoppages with all the major labor organizations. Our firm has achieved these outcomes for clients in both the private and public sectors, and can do the same for you. We represent employers before the National Labor Relations Board, Michigan Employment Relations Commission, Federal Labor Relations Authority, Railway Labor Board, and all state and federal courts on issues related to:
