Ogletree Deakins Selects Corie Anderson as New Co-Chair of the Manufacturing Industry Group

ATLANTA – May 21, 2026 – Ogletree Deakins, one of the largest labor and employment law firms representing management, is pleased to announce that Corie Anderson, shareholder in Minneapolis, has been selected as co-chair of the firm’s Manufacturing Industry Group.

In her new role, Anderson joins Michael McKnight, office managing shareholder in Raleigh, as co-chair of the Manufacturing Industry Group. The group supports manufacturers navigating the full range of employment law challenges, from traditional labor relations and workplace safety to wage and hour and regulatory compliance, by offering practical, timely solutions tailored to the unique employment needs of each workplace and workforce. Many members of the group were previously in-house counsel for manufacturing companies, including Anderson, who spent eight years in the Legal/HR department of a leading outdoor recreation manufacturer.

Anderson has nearly 30 years of legal experience, including defending and advising employers on wage and hour, immigration, discrimination, disability accommodation, harassment, employee discipline, and termination matters, as well as in workplace investigations conducted by the Department of Labor and other government agencies.

“Corie’s background is a tremendous asset to this group,” said Michael McKnight, co-chair of the Manufacturing Industry Group. “She brings firsthand knowledge of what our clients face every day, and her experience across all types of labor and employment issues only strengthens our ability to provide the best possible service.” Along with Anderson, Ogletree Deakins recently selected four new co-chairs for its practice and industry groups. More details can be found in the firm’s Media Center.
