The Employment Law and Labor Relations attorneys of the Davis Brown Law Firm work with clients on all aspects of the employment relationship. The department’s principal focus is to assist our employer clients in avoiding costly and time-consuming litigation. To accomplish that goal, clients are advised on methods of avoiding litigation, including employee training, policy development and prompt investigations of complaints. Department members also assist clients in the early stages of the employer’s internal investigation and work with them to resolve the issues in the most efficient manner possible. If a matter proceeds to litigation, our labor and employment law attorneys have extensive experience in litigating matters before various administrative agencies, as well as in state and federal trial and appellate courts.

In addition to our employment law and labor relations practice group, Dentons Davis Brown’s Workers’ Compensation group assists with all matters involving workers’ compensation claims. We work closely with clients, including employers, workers compensation insurance companies, and third party administrators to provide proactive and strategic management of significant workers’ compensation claims. Our team represents clients before the Iowa Workers’ Compensation Commissioner and Iowa’s Trial and Appellate Courts.
