Michigan Labor Attorney

The Michigan labor attorneys at Fahey, Schultz, Burzych & Rhodes, a Lansing law firm, have represented employers in both the public and private sectors for over thirty years. Our Okemos employment lawyers provide practical advice and forceful litigation in order to assist employers in complying with a variety of employment laws and labor regulations.

We believe that the following qualities are what keeps our clients satisfied and distinguishes us from other firms:

• Expertise: The beginning of the employment process starts before hire and the end of the relationship does not arrive until after the employee is long gone. From the beginning until the end, we offer counsel and advice to our clients.
• Versatility: We use our knowledge and expertise to work with our clients to help them manage their relationships with their employees. Whether it is helping our clients develop sound pre-employment policies, drafting employment contracts, or engaging in Michigan collective bargaining on behalf of our clients, our attorneys are here to adapt their extensive legal knowledge to our clients’ unique needs.
• Guidance: We believe in “preventative maintenance.” The best way to avoid legal fees is to avoid litigation where possible.  Our attorneys are here to assist clients before a serious and expensive work-place problem develops. We firmly believe in the adage that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Therefore, our labor attorney works closely with clients to negotiate practical contracts and implement practical employment policies that prevent work-place problems before they begin.
• Advocacy: Our Michigan labor attorney is ready and willing to handle your case in any type of setting, whether it is giving advice, litigating a matter to its conclusion, or providing representation and guidance at the bargaining table. And as to labor law relations, you will not find a firm in Michigan with more experience at the bargaining table or in working with represented employees. We negotiate dozens of Michigan collective bargaining agreements annually for both private and public sector employees. Our attorneys have been directly involved in contract negotiations with every major labor organization in this state.
