Employment and Labor Relations

The proliferation of employment-related legislation has created a legal minefield for employers.  To safely traverse this territory, you need expert guidance!

The Human Resources Management Group at Nantz, Litowich, Smith, Girard & Hamilton exclusively represents management.  Our group is dedicated to providing service and advice not only from a legal standpoint but also from a practical point of view.

We promote preventive maintenance and advice to assist our clients in avoiding problems before they arise.  We make it our business to know your business through an ongoing collaborative relationship.  By working together proactively, we can often identify and resolve issues that might be problematic later.  This approach encourages a more productive and motivated work force, which results in a more flexible and profitable business.

Our approach is to resolve disputes reasonably, without resorting to the often expensive, time-consuming, stressful, and unpredictable formal litigation process.  However, we do not hesitate to utilize all legal avenues available, including litigation, when it is in the best interests of our clients.  Members of the group have appeared before all levels of the court system, as well as both federal and state administrative tribunals, including the National Labor Relations Board and Michigan Employment Relations Commission.

The Human Resources Management Group has over one hundred years of combined experience dealing exclusively with human resource issues and related litigation.  We strive to control client costs by using our combined experience to address client needs in a cost-effective manner.

We have access to and support from our litigation attorneys.

We provide a complete range of legal services in the following practice areas:

• The Hiring Process

• Employment Agreements

• Policy Manuals

• Health, Safety, and Civil Rights

• Terminations

• Purchase or Sale of Business

• Labor

• Dispute Resolution

The right perspective can and will make all the difference!
