Employment Practice Group

Whether you are responding to a lawsuit, creating policies, managing your workforce, or concerned about compliance, PLG is here to help. Our lawyers have decades of experience working with employers on managing risk and protecting their interests. We represent employers throughout central Indiana and across the Midwest in a variety of industries.

The Employment Law team at PLG understands that a successful outcome may mean different things to each client and that litigation is not “one size fits all.” As a smaller employer itself, PLG is well-situated to help small and mid-sized employers manage the challenges that arise as a workforce grows.
