Practice Areas

From our offices in the Lawyers' Building in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we serve Wisconsin and Illinois employees, professionals, executives, labor organizations, small business and community organizations with matters involving:

Employment Law and Litigation
We have a full service employment law practice. Our attorneys handle everything from pre-and post-termination counseling for employees and executives to federal and state litigation and appeals. Our firm has successfully resolved cases involving discrimination; harassment; whistle blowing; pre-termination intervention; non-compete and intellectual property claims; pre-employment, negotiation of contracts, commission, confidentiality, non-solicitation and severance agreements; wrongful discharge, civil rights, benefits, defamation and professional licenses.

Business and Organization Law and Litigation
We represent small businesses, partnerships, non-profit organizations and co-operatives throughout all stages of their business, including business formation, partnership agreements, professional partnership agreements, buy / sell agreements, document drafting, regulation and licensing, resolution and litigation of disputes and issues related to business merger and dissolution. We work with community organizations, co-operatives and employee associations to be proactive.

Labor Law
Our Milwaukee, Wisconsin, employee rights lawyers represent labor unions and professional labor organizations in both the public and private sectors and have handled countless labor issues for over 30 years. We successfully handle labor matters of all types, including collective bargaining, arbitration, unfair labor practices, union relations, duty of fair representation, grievances and we are particularly well known for our ability to obtain injunctions, temporary restraining orders and writs of mandamus. Contact us today to discuss your situation with a skilled employee rights lawyer.

Civil Rights
We also litigate housing discrimination, public accommodation discrimination, and various other civil rights cases. Our civil rights lawyers have handled campaign finance litigation and injunctions and litigation on behalf of abortion clinics. As a progressive law firm, we are interested in challenging injustice to obtain justice in the proactive practice of law.

Workers Comp/Disability
Don’t harm your case by using a firm that will only handle a portion of the claims you have in your medical-related employment matters.  For example, personal injury firms will often handle your workers compensation claim and portray you as unable to work; but when you need an accommodation to maintain your employment or you are discriminated against because of your injury, they will tell you to see a different law firm.
