"Joining Littler places me in an environment where I can meet the needs of clients most effectively," said Ankers. "The firm's unlimited resources give me the ability to provide solutions across the full spectrum of labor and employment needs. I look forward to serving companies throughout the Midwest with these excellent capabilities."
Ankers excels not only in his range of legal skills, but also in his ability to address labor and employment issues of both large and small companies across numerous industries, such as food services (Sysco Food Services of Detroit), health services (Sunrise Assisted Living), retail (Rite Aid Corporation) and transportation (Penske Truck Leasing).
"Gary brings an invaluable set of skills to Littler," said Detroit office managing shareholder Charles DeWitt. "In addition to his breadth of experience across industries, he has worked closely and developed strong relationships with many of Michigan's leading companies. He will be a strong asset to the firm as we continue to grow our presence across this market."
Prior to joining Littler, Ankers was a partner at the Detroit office of Dickinson Wright, where he practiced labor and employment law. He received his J.D. from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law in 1988 and his A.B. from the University of Michigan in 1985.
