Lathrop & Gage was founded in 1873 on the heartland principles of honor, service, trust and value. We are committed to serving our clients in the same unwavering manner today. While our attorneys have amassed many successes in the past 130+ years, the accomplishment of which we are most proud is our continuing representation of our first-ever client, now known as the BNSF Railway Co.

Our employment attorneys offer a combination of in-house training, ongoing advice and litigation support to encourage awareness and proactive management of labor and employment issues. We represent employers across the country in comprehensive labor and employment law matters and litigation, including a proven track record in matters such as non-compete clauses, discrimination and harassment claims or union negotiations.

Lathrop & Gage attorneys are knowledgeable about the day-to-day labor and employment issues that employers face. Working closely with corporate counsel and human resources personnel, Lathrop & Gage maintains responsive communication throughout our work on prevention audits, employment evaluations and disciplinary actions, OSHA and other federal inquiries, restructuring and ERISA matters. We also provide tactics to successfully enforce intellectual property and trade secrets protection and defend claims of unfair labor and employment practices.
