Businesses are regulated at both the federal and state levels. While federal laws provide a basis for employee rights, environmental protection, taxes, securities and other matters, state laws also address many of these matters and more. For instance, Michigan prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, which is not prohibited under federal labor laws. This section covers a wide variety of Michigan business laws, including corporation laws, securities fraud, employment laws, deceptive trade practices, and more.
