Danny Bihrle Appointed to PAIMI Advisory Council

Fredrikson attorney Danny A. Bihrle has been appointed to the Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) Advisory Council (PAC). The council supports the work of the Minnesota Disability Law Center (MDLC) by providing independent advice and recommendations on issues impacting individuals with mental health needs. The council advises on legal advocacy, investigations into abuse or rights violations, public education and litigation to protect the rights of individuals with mental health issues.

At Fredrikson, Bihrle provides clients with comprehensive legal guidance to help navigate the increasingly complex landscape of federal, state and local employment laws. Bihrle focuses his practice on a broad range of labor and employment law matters, with a specific emphasis on wage and hour advice and litigation. He regularly defends employers against single-plaintiff, class and collective actions before state and federal courts, administrative agencies and arbitration panels involving claims such as wage and hour violations, discrimination, harassment and retaliation, whistleblower actions, and leaves and accommodations.

Bihrle also works closely with employers to ensure compliance with specific areas related to employee compensation, including minimum wage, overtime compensation, incentive compensation plans and remote worker compensation. In addition to his litigation and counseling work, Bihrle regularly speaks on employment law compliance topics. He presents to legal and HR audiences on a wide range of issues, including wage and hour compliance, emerging employment law trends and practical strategies for minimizing legal risk in the workplace.
