Mike Bernard Quoted in Crain’s Detroit Business Article

Mike Bernard, Detroit-based member of Dykema’s Corporate Finance Practice Group, was quoted in the Crain’s Detroit Business article “Companies await Supreme Court ruling on attempts to curb class-action lawsuits.” The article discusses how Southeast Michigan employers may need to rethink the way they manage the risk of lawsuits from their workforce depending on a future U.S. Supreme Court decision on whether employee class-action claim waivers are legal.

In the article, Bernard explained that the coupling of the class-action waiver is a relatively new practice among employers, but one that is certain to gain in popularity since it prevents them from being held hostage by the threat of a class action. He goes on to state that Dykema’s labor attorneys are recommending clients attach the waiver to employment agreements, even as the practice hangs in the balance.
