Strategic Employment Counsel for Employers, Executives, and Business Owners
Employment disputes often involve more than a personnel issue—they can threaten a company’s reputation, operations, confidential information, and financial stability. Our attorneys provide sophisticated employment law counseling and litigation services to employers, executives, and closely held businesses throughout Michigan. The firm’s employment practice includes both proactive counseling and vigorous defense in complex employment-related disputes.
Unlike firms that handle routine employment matters as part of an insurance defense practice, BWST focuses on high-stakes employment litigation where substantial damages, significant business interests, or important workplace policies are at risk. The firm has successfully tried and arbitrated numerous employment matters.
Our comprehensive services include:
- Employment discrimination and retaliation claims
- Harassment and hostile work environment allegations
- EEOC charges and administrative proceedings
- Employee discipline, termination, and separation issues
- Executive employment agreements and severance negotiations
- Non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements
- Trade secret protection and enforcement
- Human resources and workplace policy counseling
- Employment-related arbitration and litigation
Employment disputes also frequently arise within the broader context of business operations. BWST leverages its extensive commercial litigation experience to address matters involving trade secrets, executive transitions, sales commissions, fiduciary obligations, and business-owner disputes. This integrated approach helps clients protect both their legal position and long-term business objectives.
Whether facing an employment lawsuit, responding to an EEOC charge, negotiating an executive separation, or protecting proprietary business information, clients turn to us for strategic counsel and experienced advocacy. Our attorneys work aggressively to achieve favorable results through negotiation, arbitration, and trial.
