At many organizations, the most common fear among executives is an employee lawsuit. The number of employee filings each year continues to be high with no sign of slowing down. Win or lose, defending a lawsuit by a disgruntled former employee with an attorney is costly, time-consuming, and affects all aspects of an otherwise thriving business. In today's podcast, Jim Stroud interviews Matthew Grabell, author of "The Employee Lawyer's Playbook" for a very interesting conversation that will raise the eyebrows of employers and employees alike. Tune in now. About my guest: MATTHEW R. GRABELL, ESQ. - Employee Relations Solutions (“ERS”) was founded after Mr. Grabell enjoyed a successful career as an employment attorney representing employees who felt victimized in the workplace by unlawful discrimination, harassment or retaliation. He was struck by how frequently his adversaries lost their cases (or were forced into costly settlements) due to a company’s lack of knowledge of the many legal land mines that could have easily been avoided. In 2007, he decided to switch teams in order to provide corporations with the legal weapons necessary to limit exposure altogether, while keeping costs of outside law firms down should a lawsuit be filed. ERS opens the plaintiff's play book to corporations who want to know how to protect themselves from issues BEFORE they become legal liabilities. Mr. Grabell advises corporations on a 24-hour “on-call” basis and trains managers and executives on the most common areas of liability in employment law. Mr. Grabell graduated from New York University Stern School of Business and Seton Hall Law School. Buy "The Employee Lawyer's Playbook" here: https://amzn.to/3ZMtkxn Learn more about your ad choices.
