SAN FRANCISCO (Feb. 3, 2009) – Littler Mendelson, P.C. (Littler), the largest U.S.-based employment and labor law firm representing management, is proud to announce the launch of three new blogs providing frequent updates and analyses on key developments in employment and labor law. These blogs, which should prove especially helpful during this period of unprecedented economic turbulence and regulatory change, are designed to provide employers with insight they can leverage immediately.
"Launching our blogs is part of our commitment to providing employers with insights regarding employment and labor law information in the most efficient manner," said Marko Mrkonich, president and managing director of the firm. "The most current collective intelligence from some of our most active practice groups is now just one click away."
The Washington DC Employment Law Update blog (dcemploymentlawupdate.com) provides information about the changes being introduced by the Obama Administration which will have an impact on employers, including the potential passage of the Employee Free Choice Act and the recent passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. The Littler National Governmental Affairs Team provides insight into legislation, regulations, federal agency activity and executive orders that impact the labor and employment landscape.
The Global Immigration Counsel blog (globalimmigrationcounsel.com) tracks developments that affect the mobile workforce, covering both U.S. immigration and global migration issues. Amidst the constant fluctuations in immigration and global migration law, this blog will help clients stay abreast of these changes and also provide information and analysis on legal developments that warrant special attention.
The Wage & Hour Counsel blog (wageandhourcounsel.com) closely monitors, tracks and reports on wage and hour legal developments, including court decisions, administrative agency opinions and new or revised requirements or regulations. Littler attorneys continuously provide insights into how new developments affect employers, as well as identify recent trends within the area of wage and hour law.
Littler is not new to the blogosphere. In addition to the three new blogs, Littler's Workplace Privacy Counsel blog (privacyblog.littler.com) has been operational since mid-2007 and is being read by clients and other employers across the nation. Authored by Littler's Privacy & Data Protection Practice Group, the blog provides insight to help employers comply with privacy laws and avoid costly civil litigation and government enforcement actions.
