What Sets Us Apart

At Nemeth Bonnette Brouwer, we only practice labor and employment law. We counsel, train, investigate, mediate and litigate. It’s all we do. All day. Every day. With this singular legal focus, we are not distracted by other areas of the law. We monitor national and state legislation, workplace trends and the economic climate, and then use our collective knowledge and legal acumen to advise clients on how these issues can or will impact their workplace. 

We let our clients define their victory, asking questions that get to the heart of their concerns.

• What keeps you up at night?
• What do you want to accomplish?
• What do you want from your attorneys?
• How do you define a “win” in this situation?

And then we listen. By listening we can trust we are working toward the right result for our clients. We let our clients define their victory.

As a firm founded and grounded in Detroit, we bring a unique perspective to clients with unionized employees – wherever they may be. In a legal area long dominated by male attorneys, our female-led firm made its mark early in our 30-year history as a tough force representing employers in union disputes, strikes, and union organizing campaigns. Now, with unionization activity on the uptick nationally in an increasingly union-friendly environment, we enable employers to respond quickly and lawfully.

Woman-owned and led since our founding, Nemeth Bonnette Brouwer is a premier boutique law firm focused exclusively on representing management in the prevention, resolution and litigation of labor and employment disputes. Established in an era where the majority of labor and employment attorneys were men, Nemeth Bonnette Brouwer is committed to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion in our hiring, mentoring, client relationships and community support.

Our firm attributes its success to focusing on one common goal – putting the client first. From high quality legal services and professional communication of information to timely responses to client inquiries, we do everything we can to anticipate client needs and exceed client expectation.

Given the decades of employment law experience that our attorneys possess, Nemeth Bonnette Brouwer offers clients unparalleled knowledge and skill. Further, given our diverse private and public sector employer experience, we know what works in one industry might not work in another – knowledge that benefits our clients.

Since our founding in 1992, we have flourished through client referrals and recommendations from business owners, executives and government leaders who know our passion for management side labor and employment and trust our experience in successfully representing clients. From family-owned businesses and entrepreneurial ventures to big box retail chains, banks and multi-national corporations; from the private sector to governmental units to non-profits - our reputation precedes us.
