Charlotte Garry Carne

Member


Charlotte’s practice focuses on litigation and counseling with an emphasis on management-side (both private and public employers) employment discrimination, wage, and hour, and leave laws. She regularly appears before both state and federal courts as well as administrative agencies. 

Charlotte defends employers against charges filed with the EEOC and state and local fair employment agencies, and class and collective actions in the wage and hour context. In addition, she regularly counsels employers on personnel matters arising under the ADA, ADEA, FMLA and other state and federal employment laws.

Prior to joining Dykema, Charlotte clerked for Magistrate Judge David Grand and District Court Judge Laurie Michelson in the Eastern District of Michigan. She also practiced labor and employment law with Butzel Long in Michigan and Price, Postel and Parma in California.
