Employment & Labor Law

Employment & Labor Law

Michel & Associates advises and represents private employers, nonprofit organizations, and public entities concerning employment and workplace matters. The firm’s practice includes preventive counseling, employment policies, workplace investigations, administrative proceedings, and litigation.

Employer Counseling

The firm assists employers with employment policies and handbooks, employee classification, wage-and-hour issues, leave requirements, workplace conduct, discipline, termination, confidentiality, and other recurring personnel matters. Early legal review can often reduce the risk that an employment problem develops into administrative proceedings or litigation.

Workplace Investigations and Claims

The firm’s attorneys advise on and handle matters involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, whistleblower allegations, workplace misconduct, internal investigations, and claims arising from hiring, discipline, or termination decisions.

Litigation and Administrative Proceedings

Michel & Associates represents employers in state and federal court and before governmental agencies in employment-related disputes. The firm’s litigation experience also allows employment issues to be addressed in coordination with related business, regulatory, constitutional, or public-entity concerns when necessary.

Public Entity Employment Matters

The firm also represents public entities in employment and personnel matters, including workplace investigations, discipline, litigation, and related governmental employment issues.
