Law Firm Overview

Wessels Sherman is a Midwest based labor and employment law firm with a nationwide practice. We have six offices throughout the Midwest in St. Charles, Illinois; Oconomowoc, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Davenport, Iowa; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Indianapolis, Indiana. We concentrate our practice solely in the representation of employers and management in all aspects of the employer/employee relationship.

A significant portion of our practice is devoted to providing training and up to the minute advice to employers so that litigation may be avoided, or so that a strategy may be planned in advance. With our experience and attorney accessibility, we are able to handle all inquiries without delay.

"The essence of our law firm can be found in our relationship with our clients. We know and understand the business of each of our clients. Our client relationships are long term."

"The cornerstone of our philosophy is our credo, 'We run through walls for our clients'. To that end, we have established a policy of aggressive client advocacy, close interaction, easy accessibility and cost-effective representation."
