Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has announced the promotion of Christopher Braverman and Eric Jamison to division chief positions within the Department of Attorney General. Braverman will lead the Labor Division, while Jamison will head the State Operations Division.
“Both Chris and Eric are long-time civil servants who have dedicated their careers to the State of Michigan,” Nessel said. “We are lucky to have them, and I know they will continue to excel in their new roles.”
Eric Jamison began his career at the Department in 2013 after working in private practice. He initially served as a tax litigator in the Revenue and Collections Division before moving to the State Operations Division, where he helped develop the eDiscovery group and managed civil litigation cases. He was promoted to management in 2017 and became division chief of State Operations in November 2025.
The State Operations Division provides legal support and representation for various state agencies. Its responsibilities include both transactional/IT work and litigation/eDiscovery services.
Jamison holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Oakland University and a law degree from Wayne State University Law School. He is also a member of the State Bar of Michigan.
Christopher Braverman joined the Department in 2008 after two years in private practice. He started in the State Operations Division, transferred to the Labor Division in 2012, and was promoted to section head five years later. In 2020, he became first assistant in the Licensing and Regulation Division before being named division chief of Labor in August 2025. Braverman has participated in several significant legal cases, including class-action lawsuits at both state and federal levels, as well as arguments before Michigan’s appellate courts.
The Labor Division offers legal advice and representation for state entities involved with employment regulation, workforce benefits, safety issues, unemployment matters, and workers’ compensation claims. The division operates out of Lansing and Detroit with four sections: Regulatory, Vocational Safety, Unemployment, and Workers’ Compensation.
Braverman earned his undergraduate degree from Michigan State University in Business Administration/Pre-Law followed by a law degree from Michigan State University College of Law. He resides with his family in Dewitt.
