Michael J. Mirarchi

Michael J. Mirarchi is recognized as a leading expert in employment-related lawsuit prevention. As an Employee Relations Counselor, he is dedicated to helping employers stay litigation-free.

Drawing from over 35 years of experience as an employer defense attorney and as a HR Vice President, he developed “Reset the Clock - Practical Employee Relations for Leaders.” He has presented it over 1,350 times to more than 34,500 leaders at employers across North America.

Mr. Mirarchi believes that most leaders exercise their abilities with fairness, integrity, and professionalism. Nevertheless, there are plenty of opportunities to run into potential liability situations. In these situations, leaders who know what to do and how to do it have a tremendous advantage over those who don’t, in avoiding lawsuits.

He has presented the HR Professional version of this program for SHRM Chapters across the country, biannually for DallasHR.

In 2013, Mike was recognized as the first inductee into the HRSouthwest Conference Speaker Hall of Fame. Over the last 30 years, he has consistently been one of the highest-rated speakers, excelling in content, professionalism, and delivery.
