Overview

Labor and Employment Client Strategies is an authoritative, insider's perspective on best practices for handling employee/employer disputes. Featuring partners and chairs from some of the nation's leading firms, these experts guide the reader through the importance of obtaining crucial documentation, enhancing human resource administration, and developing training for management and staff to avert future legal issues. These top lawyers give tips on structuring contracts, understanding clients' motivations, deciphering realistic goals, and knowing when to settle versus litigate. Additionally, these leaders reveal their strategies for obtaining information from both sides of a matter, planning defensively, and keeping abreast of change. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this ever-evolving field. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts.
