Notable Leaders in Law: Keith Kopplin - BizTimes - Milwaukee Business News

Keith Kopplin, shareholder at the Milwaukee office of Ogletree Deakins is an employment attorney with a focus on wage and hour law.

As co-chair of the wage and hour practice group at Ogletree Deakins, Kopplin focuses on overtime exemptions, timekeeping practices and the compensability of preliminary and postliminary activities.

He defends employers in class and collective actions and provides strategic counsel during government investigations and audits. He also advises organizations on workplace matters, including hiring, discipline, discharge decisions, accommodations, and compliance with Wisconsin and federal Family and Medical Leave acts.

“A defining achievement in Keith’s career was his successful petition to the Seventh Circuit – twice – under Rule 23(f) to review a class certification involving approximately 300 administrative assistants alleging off-the-clock overtime,” said Ohyun Kwon, office administrator at Ogletree Deakins.

The second review vacated the certification order and remanded the case. The plaintiffs’ subsequent effort to amend the pleadings was denied, and the case was ultimately dismissed.

Kopplin has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America for six consecutive years in practice areas of employment law and labor and employment litigation.
