Hand-in-hand with my litigation practice has been my advisory practice, where I have advised and counseled employers on employment issues, including disability accommodation, leaves of absence, employee discipline, internal investigations and compliance with wage and hour laws.  I make recommendations with an eye toward mitigating risk while satisfying my clients' business and operational needs.  I also advise with respect to employee handbooks and policies.  Finally, I have conducted anti-workplace harassment training to employees of all levels, including non-management, management and principals.
