About Carol
Biography
I have more than 20 years of experience representing employers in complex employment cases, including numerous wage and hour class actions. I have significant jury trial experience in state and federal courts. I also counsel and train employers in preventive employment practices, including ADA and wage compliance; leave, discipline and termination policies; and sexual harassment.
I am a frequent speaker on harassment, FMLA, investigations, manager training and EEO compliance.
