Practice overview
Clark Hill employment attorneys have focused on the business, administrative and litigation needs of the burgeoning contract staffing, outsourcing and employee leasing industries since before the phrase "contingent workforce" was coined. The firm provides a complete range of legal services to PEO (Professional Employer Organization), employee leasing, outsourcing, temporary and contract staffing firms, including preparation of client service contracts and employee manuals, litigation of labor, employment and ERISA disputes, planning and administration of employee benefits, as well as merger/acquisition, securities, bankruptcy and general business counsel.
Clark Hill attorneys with expertise in employment relations and business law have been instrumental in the formation and growth of temporary staffing, outsourcing and employee leasing organizations headquartered in Michigan. We have prepared client service agreements generated by specific negotiations, as well as standard contracts that form the basis for the working relationships between a number of such staffing organizations and their clients. We routinely represent such non-traditional employers in matters before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, state and local civil rights agencies, the Unemployment Agency and state and federal tax authorities. Our attorneys also have experience with employee benefits as they relate to contract staffing.
As industry specialists, our attorneys serve on the NAPEO ( National Association of Professional Employers) Legal Advisory Council and are regular contributors to NAPEO publications and conferences as well as organizations representing the transportation and trucking industries.
