John Lassetter Email & Phone Number

I am a labor and employment attorney who represents employers in collective, class, and hybrid actions brought under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage and hour laws. I have successfully defeated certification in a number of threatened nationwide collective actions and have resolved many other cases involving the complicated legal issues that arise in wage and hour litigation. I also counsel employers regarding wage and hour compliance, ensuring best practices, and avoiding class litigation. In addition to my specific focus on wage and hour issues, I counsel clients on a variety of other labor and employment issues including compliance with federal, state and local labor and employment laws, policy formation and implementation, leave management, disability accommodations, restrictive covenants, hiring and terminations, and workplace investigations and disciplinary proceedings. I also represented clients in disputes involving race, ethnicity, age, gender, disability, and sexual orientation discrimination and harassment allegations, whistleblower and other retaliatory discharge claims, and unfair competition and trade secret disputes. I speak fluent Norwegian and am serving as the Vice President of the Upper Midwest chapter of the Norwegian American Chamber of Commerce. I am also a proud member of Torske Klubben!

Listed skills include Employment Law, Litigation, Appeals, Trade Secrets, and 20 others.
