The Schenk & Bruetsch Spotlight: Employment Attorney Lindsey Johnson
For the month of May, Schenk & Bruetsch is excited to place a spotlight on Partner Lindsey Johnson, and the work she has done volunteering with the Oakland County Bar Association. A longtime member of the Oakland Bar Association, Schenk & Bruetsch’s premier employment attorney, Lindsey Johnson, has deepened her commitment to sharpening her analytical and consulting skills in employment law matters by becoming active in the Oakland County Bar Association’s employment law committee. As a member of the Committee, Partner Johnson has served as the former Chair and Vice Chair of the committee, in addition to presenting on hot employment topics ranging from AI in the workplace to the Michigan Legislature’s recent changes to the Earned Sick Time Act. Partner Johnson has now taken on the Committee’s Legislative Liaison position wherein she reports to the Committee members on pending employment bills in the Michigan Legislature, and also interacts with the Bar Association’s lobbyist in order to stay abreast of all employment issues in Lansing.
We are also excited to announce that Lindsey Johnson will be a member of a panel of speakers at the upcoming Employment Committee’s 2025 Employment Law Year in Review set for June 10, 2025. Schenk & Bruetsch is proud of Attorney Johnson’s commitment to honing her expertise in the employment law arena and sharing her expertise with our business clients. Lindsey Johnson can be contacted at Linsey.Johnson@SBDetroit.com.
“I called upon the services of attorney Matthew Schenk of Schenk & Bruetsch to help me with an extremely urgent and difficult matter to expedite the processing of some critical documents by the city (Detroit), county (Wayne) and state (Michigan). Even under the best times, this is something that would have taken weeks. I needed results in a few days. To make matters more difficult, this was during COVID, so instead of even weeks, I was told by government officials that it would likely take 2-3 months. Having known Mr. Schenk’s background and reputation, I asked if there was anything he could do to help, as I had reached dead ends on all fronts, and failure in this matter was not an option for me. He promptly began making calls to his close connections at all government levels, and within three days (!!) I had everything completed. Amazing.”

“During my tenure as SVP & General Counsel for Litigation for a major financial institution, I worked with local Detroit and national firms on a regular basis. Tom Bruetsch was one of the Detroit attorneys that I worked with on several matters. I found him to be accessible, an excellent strategist and reasonable in his advice and the time he spent on our projects. As the in-house counsel, I appreciated the fact that Tom understood that I was ultimately responsible for the outcome of the matter and he worked very diligently to ensure I was part of the litigation team. I was involved in most, if not all, strategy and preparation sessions and was provided plenty of time to review significant pleadings prior to their being filed with the court. Such attention to the client relationship was not something that I found across attorneys I worked with. Tom had that in spades. I would highly recommend him for your litigation matters.”
