Michael Best’s Employment Litigation team is made up of experienced litigation attorneys who defend clients in cases ranging from routine single-plaintiff discrimination matters through complex class actions. We are proud of our successful track record at the administrative level and in state and federal courts across the country.

Winning Strategies
Because winning at any cost does not always best serve client needs, we collaborate with our clients to craft a customized strategy for each matter. We start by candidly assessing the strengths and weaknesses of each claim, the evidence, and the witnesses, then analyzing possible defense strategies, risks, and projected outcomes. We work with clients to ensure that the handling of each case aligns with their objectives — whether the desired outcome is settlement, summary judgment, or trial victory.
While our team includes experienced trial attorneys who get results, we are seasoned in all aspects of pre-trial procedure and discovery. We are often able to resolve cases before they reach the courtroom. When defending class actions, we vigorously seek to defeat certification or decertify the class whenever possible. We also have an outstanding record of obtaining favorable results for clients in arbitrations, mediations, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
