Employment Litigation

Best & Flanagan’s employment and labor lawyers are skilled and strategic trial lawyers who represent large corporations, small businesses, and individuals in employment litigation—in state and federal court, mediations, and arbitrations in Minnesota and across the country.

We litigate cases as efficiently and practically as possible, knowing that not every case requires a full court press. We also vigorously represent employers in administrative proceedings before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, other federal agencies, and their state and local equivalents.

When victory cannot be secured by settlement, we are eager to take cases to trial to vindicate our clients from wrongful accusations of discrimination, retaliation, wage-hour violations, misrepresentation, whistleblowing, and other employment claims.

We are adept at securing winning outcomes for our clients. In recent years, our employment lawyers have:

  • Won a motion to dismiss in Minnesota federal court, resulting in complete dismissal of 11 claims of race discrimination, tortious interference, defamation and constitutional due-process violations.
  • Defeated a motion for preliminary injunction to enforce a non-compete in Minnesota federal court, which allowed our client to continue to employ its top general manager.
  • Won complete summary judgment for a client in Minnesota state court, defeating an ex-employee’s claim for seven figures in commissions.
