About the group: Dickinson’s Employment & Labor Law Group is one of Iowa’s largest and most recognized. The group consists of ten attorneys, six of whom practice primarily in employment law, and is one of only three such practice groups in Iowa to earn a Band 1 ranking in the Labor & Employment area in the most recent edition of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business. The group also received Tier 1 rankings for Employment Law (Management) and Labor Law (Management) in the most recent U.S. News & World Report ”Best Law Firms” rankings.
Members of the group annually produce a new edition of the “Model Policies and Forms for Iowa Employers” reference book (published and distributed under the auspices of the firm’s client, the Iowa Association of Business and Industry) and frequently contribute materials and make presentations to professional associations and employers on a wide range of labor and employment law topics. Many of Dickinson’s employment and labor attorneys are members of the Society for Human Resource Management and other professional and employer trade associations. They produce a newsletter for clients called “Hire Perspectives,” which focuses on current legal trends and issues in employment and labor law. They also conduct an annual Employment Law Seminar for clients to keep them updated on legal issues related to the management of their human resources.
