Employee Handbook Guidance
Irene consulted with my organization the CT Women's Education and Legal Fund (CWEALF) to update our employee handbook. Irene provided thorough and thoughtful feedback to our handbook that improved this document from an employment law and HR perspective. We were grateful for her support and insight!
"I have no hesitation referring clients who need advice from the employee side to Irene. Irene has immense experience in the field of employment law due to her long tenure practicing in this area at The Hartford. I have seen Irene's law firm grown and thrive since she founded it in 2019. I am very fortunate to call Irene a friend and a mentor."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Irene through our mutual association with the Connecticut Employment Lawyers Association. I have found her to be highly intelligent, thoughtful, empathetic and a strong advocate. I would happily recommend her."
"I highly recommend Irene and am thrilled that I have someone so knowledgeable, compassionate and engaged to refer my clients when they have been terminated or need assistance with any employment matter."
"As a fellow plaintiff-side employment lawyer and former in-house colleague, I am delighted to endorse Irene with the highest confidence. She combines top legal acumen with a unique understanding of corporate structure, which she uses strategically to obtain outstanding results for her clients. As importantly, she is compassionate, honest and fair. Finally, Irene is truly an excellent counselor....when advising clients she focuses not only on the immediate legal issues, but on all ancillary circumstances in order to help each client make the best decisions."
"As an attorney who has worked along side Attorney Bassock in the past, I can tell you that she will impress you with her intelligence, work ethic and especially with the results she will obtain. She is well know for her ability to relate to clients and her never ending energy in representing her clients’ interests."
