Several recent court decisions, including decisions from the US Supreme Court, emphasize that preventative measures such as legal compliance training for managers and employees can significantly reduce employer liability.

Employee Lawsuits: An Ever-Increasing Threat.
25% of all civil litigation today is employment related* — and employee-friendly juries will only guarantee that the trend will continue upward. Just the cost alone of successfully defending an employee lawsuit can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. And paying expensive settlements in lieu of litigation isn't helping employers' bottom line much either.

What to do?
Protection through Prevention:
For a fraction of the cost of fighting lawsuits, many employers are learning that proactive prevention strategies pay big dividends, not just by dramatically reducing their exposure to legal claims, but in fostering happier, more productive employees.

For the past ten years, I have been helping employers implement proactive prevention strategies that reduce their exposure to employee lawsuits. However, my seminars and consulting services are unique because they don't just focus on legal compliance at the expense of my clients' business objectives. My diverse experience in the area of employment law (attorney, former government EEO investigator, human resource consultant, dispute mediator, etc.) allows me to see the "big picture" as I help employers meet their legal obligations.
