Working with Government Agencies in Labor Law: Leading Lawyers on Managing Client Expectations, Navigating Policies and Procedures, and Facilitating Agency Interactions (Inside the Minds)

Working with Government Agencies in Labor Law is an authoritative, insider's guide to the best practices for representing employers during interactions with government agencies. Featuring partners from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts discuss the key steps to successful relations with agencies such as the National Labor Relations Board, Department of Labor, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. These top lawyers reveal their advice on how to interact with the agencies during union organizing, bargaining, and workplace investigations, including the importance of understanding timelines and avoiding widening the scope of investigation. Additionally, these leaders reveal their strategies for companies on how to stay in compliance with key regulations and outline recent trends in agency activities and regulatory developments. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this ever-evolving field. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future.
