Bodman’s Steve Dunn is featured in the most recent installment of the Military Veterans in Law Podcast, hosted by Jerrod Fussnecker on Apple Podcasts. The Military Veterans in Law Podcast is dedicated to highlighting the achievements of military veterans in the legal industry. Steve’s interview covers the interplay between his military service and his private practice legal career and how he has successfully navigated both.

Steve is a member of Bodman and he focuses on litigating complex business disputes. As part of his multifaceted practice, he also leads teams handling complex corporate transactions and serves as outside general counsel to several clients. In addition, he is an entrepreneur and co-owner of Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc., the industry's leading publisher of aviation training materials and pilot supplies.

Steve is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army reserve JAG Corps and served extended periods of active duty as a trial counsel with XVIII Airborne Corps at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and as command judge advocate with a joint special operations task force in the Middle East.

In its recent decision in Crisp v. Scioto Ambulance Dist., the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reaffirmed that employees who engage in protected activity under anti-discrimination laws are not immune from discipline if they separately violate workplace rules.

Michelle L. Kolkmeyer of Bodman's Workplace Law Group explains that, because retaliation claims remain among the most common employment claims, this decision is a helpful reminder that employers can still hold employees accountable for policy violations, even when those employees have engaged in protected activity.
