Plaintiff Lawyers as Employers: Avoiding Employment Law Landmines

Employees are the support system that allows you to focus on what’s most important—your clients.  Like other employers, lawyers are subject to employment laws that regulate hiring, compensating, supervising and terminating employees. With a clear understanding of employment law, you can maintain the support staff necessary for your practice to thrive without running afoul of employment law regulations.

This webinar will cover the importance of establishing clearly stated job descriptions, policies, procedures and expectations to avoid unnecessary conflict and turnover, exceptions to employment-at-will doctrine, FLSA rules on compensation and overtime, how to tell if that “independent contractor” is really an employee and customizing employment agreements that cover risk management and intellectual property protection.

Employment law attorney, CEO and author Alan G. Crone will cover what you need to know about employment law compliance and training, drafting customized employment agreements and contracts, protecting intellectual property and developing a risk management plan for hiring, training and managing your firm’s employees.
