Wage and Hour
Employers today are facing a greater risk than ever from wage and hour litigation, especially from class and collective actions that can involve multimillion dollar claims. State laws and federal regulations have changed, intensifying the focus on employee compensation and resulting in an explosion in class actions filed each year in federal and state courts.
The attorneys in Barnes & Thornburg's Wage & Hour Practice Group defend these high-stakes employment cases, backed by the resources of a nationally recognized labor and employment law practice. We tailor our approach to the particular facts of the case designed to present a vigorous, focused and practical defense designed to defeat plaintiffs- efforts to turn a case into a nationwide class or collective action. We pride ourselves in our ability to defend these actions effectively and appropriately for the level of risk involved.
