Law Note

and attorneys in public employment and in the private sector. Each
year the areas of risk management and claim exposure become more
expensive and preventive program concerns become more demanding.
To assist in employer preventive practices, SmartTalent is
pleased to provide brief summaries regarding key developments in
the area of Labor Law, written by the employment law attorneys at Sebris Busto James.
