Member Bio

Deborah Brouwer represents employers in a wide range of labor and employment issues, counseling and defending employers in disputes involving sexual harassment; race, age, religious, disability and national origin discrimination claims; wage and overtime claims; and FMLA and FLSA claims. She has appeared in numerous courts and administrative agencies throughout the country, including many appellate courts.

Before joining Nemeth Law in 2004, Ms. Brouwer served as general counsel for the UAW Legal Services Plans, an employee benefit plan funded by the automobile companies to provide prepaid legal services to eligible auto workers. In that capacity, she defended labor, employment and ERISA claims, as well as legal malpractice suits. She also headed that firm’s appellate practice.

Ms. Brouwer earned her Bachelor of Arts and Master’s degrees from the University of Michigan, where she studied history and English literature. She received a Juris Doctor degree from Wayne State University Law School in 1980. She co-authored the Wayne Law Review’s Annual Survey of Employment and Labor Law from 2005-2010 and 2012-2015, and frequently presents seminars on emerging employment law issues. These combined experiences have allowed Ms. Brouwer to develop exceptional writing and advocacy skills, which she now employs to provide effective and successful representation to her clients.

Firm Information

Nemeth Law, P.C. is Detroit-based but nationally recognized. Since its founding in 1992, all growth is attributable to the talents and tenacity of our team. Nemeth Law did not break off from another firm with a built-in client base or add merged firms along the way. Instead, we have flourished through client referrals and recommendations from business owners, executives, and community and government leaders who know our passion for management side labor and employment law.

With specialties in employment litigation, traditional labor law and management consultation for private and public sector employers, Nemeth Law focuses on niche areas of the law that are typically served by male attorneys. As a result of hard work and outstanding legal knowledge and experience, Nemeth Law is the largest woman-owned law firm in Michigan to exclusively represent management in the prevention, resolution and litigation of labor and employment disputes.

Nemeth Law continually strives to be a model law firm employer. One of the ways we do this is by creating a collegial atmosphere where clients are ‘firm clients’ and not solely the responsibility of one attorney. In addition to being the best, team-focused way to provide optimal legal service to our clients, we also believe the ‘firm client’ approach eliminates unnecessary competition that can negatively impact a positive corporate culture.

Because of our in-depth knowledge of labor and employment law, Nemeth Law collaborates each year with the Wayne State University Law School Law Review to research and compile the Annual Survey of Michigan Employment and Labor Law, a summary and analysis of the important labor and employment decisions of the preceding year.
