Few legal practice areas have grown as rapidly - and as problematically - in California as employment and labor law. Whether addressing issues of reasonable accommodation under federal and state disability discrimination laws, leave of absence and return to work issues under federal and state family and medical leave statutes, or traditional claims of wrongful termination and discrimination/harassment, California employers face difficult questions and situations every day. And every day, laws are enacted and court decisions handed down, creating new legal traps for the unwary employer and making it easier for employees to sue their employers.
In an effort to better serve the employment law needs of our clients, Laughlin, Falbo, Levy & Moresi has formed a collaborative alliance with the law firm of Sedgwick LLP. Sedgwick LLP, has a significant employment law practice and extensive experience in representing a wide variety of clients. The firm has offices throughout California and across the globe.
Our collaborative alliance with Sedgwick LLP will provide clients with greater access to immediate counsel regarding cross-over employment issues which arise with increasing frequency during the course of workers' compensation litigation. It will improve the coordination and communication between these two fields of law, which often operate in a void, thereby facilitating the resolution of both compensation and employment issues without an unnecessary duplication of efforts or working at cross-purposes.
We at Laughlin, Falbo, Levy & Moresi and Sedgwick LLP believe that this innovative alliance will prove to be a valuable resource for our clients' needs.
