 Joe Stephens
Senior Associate
Dinsmore & Shohl LLP

Joe Stephens is a senior associate in Dinsmore & Shohl LLP’s Labor and Employment Group.  Joe’s practice primarily focuses on assisting client employers of all sizes with a wide range of labor and employment issues.  He has counseled employers on matters involving the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Acts, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and employment contract law.

Joe has substantial experience defending employers against charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and similar state employment commissions, as well as matters in state and federal courts across the country. He also works closely with employers to ensure that problems do not reach litigation by consulting on appropriate methods to manage risk in the workplace.

In his practice, Joe has developed a substantial practice assisting employers with navigating the issues presented by restrictive covenants such as noncompetition agreements, non-solicitation agreements, and confidentiality agreements.  Joe has significant experience working on both sides of a standard restrictive covenant dispute—both working to enforce a restrictive covenant against a former employee or assisting a current employer in opposing the application of an overly restrictive covenant by a former employer.

Prior to joining the firm, Joe served as a law clerk in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio for U.S. District Judge Timothy S. Black and in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky for U.S. Magistrate Judge Candace J. Smith. Joe received his J.D. from Indiana University Maurer School of Law, where he also served as editor-in-chief of the Indiana Law Journal.
