The Faegre & Benson employment and benefits practice is composed of nearly 60 lawyers who cover the spectrum of issues affecting the employment relationship, employee mobility, compensation and benefits. We help employers navigate complex workforce issues and advise product and service providers operating in the retirement and compensation markets.

We are not generalists—we have the size and depth to support specialization in key areas of employment and benefits law. We leverage this knowledge by collaborating with each other—ensuring clients receive integrated, strategic representation from the lawyer or team of lawyers who can most effectively assist them.

Whether clients' needs involve litigation, organized labor, employee benefits, executive compensation, enforcement of restrictive covenants, immigration or employment issues related to mergers and acquisitions, we provide legal advice that is based on their business objectives. We also help clients understand applicable laws, so they can mitigate risk and move forward with their business goals.

Through our offices in the United States, Europe and China—along with our international network of local counsel—we assist multinational clients with employment-related legal matters anywhere in the world.

We have been recognized as a Go-To Law Firm® for labor and employment by Fortune 500 general counsel surveyed by Corporate Counsel magazine (2010). Market-leading businesses rely on Faegre & Benson because of our knowledge, experience and commitment to serving as an integral part of their team.
