Traditional Labor

With a substantial depth and breadth of experience, the industry leading attorneys in Butzel Long's Labor Practice have represented public and private sector employers and multi-employer associations across a wide array of industries in collective bargaining, representational campaigns and elections, unfair labor practice charges, strikes -- including injunction proceedings in both state and federal courts designed to end unlawful strikes or picketing -- wage and hour matters and arbitrations. 



Butzel Long's expertise is reflected over its long history, having had attorneys who have served on the National Labor Relations Board, including a recent chair of the National Labor Relations Board. Additionally, current Butzel Long attorneys include two past chairs of the Labor and Employment Law Section of the State Bar and a past chair of the International Law Section. Three of our attorneys are Fellows of the College of Labor and Employment Lawyers, an honor available only to those who have, in the eyes of their colleagues, distinguished themselves as outstanding professionals for more than 20 years of practice. Several are listed in The Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA and one was voted among Southeast Michigan’s top 10 business lawyers by Corp! magazine.
