Janet represents employers in a variety of employment-related claims in both state and federal court while also advising clients on cost-effective measures to prevent problems from occurring or escalating, including through employee and HR training, employee handbooks, employment agreements, and policies that comply with federal and state employment laws and agency regulations.
