Employment Law

Wheeler Upham provides the counsel, advice, and litigation support all employers need. Perhaps no other area of the law is more difficult for a business to navigate or exposes it to greater unexpected litigation risk. Wheeler Upham’s litigation experience in the areas of employment discrimination, non-competes, trade secrets, Family and Medical Leave Act, and disability accommodation claims enables the firm to provide efficient and cost-effective counsel and litigation support to employers. We also help with non-litigation support services, such as drafting employee handbooks, non-discrimination policies, non-compete agreements, affirmative action plans, personnel contracts, reasonable accommodation processes, and employee buyout agreements.

Wheeler Upham also works with postal and federal employees to obtain reasonable accommodations for disabilities, to obtain workers’ compensation coverage for injuries, to obtain disability retirement benefits from Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to pursue discrimination claims before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), to respond to discipline, and to appeal adverse actions to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB).

Be confident in the advice and representation you will receive on your employment issues. Wheeler Upham’s counsel has been recognized as a “Go-To” lawyer for employment law by Michigan Lawyers’ Weekly magazine and in the area of employment litigation by Best Lawyers of America.
