    Communication with Adverse Parties
    How can communicating with adverse parties minimize or maximize your effectiveness as an advocate, affect client service, and impact staff morale? It is not uncommon for the lofty ideals of legal professionalism to fade alongside the more instinctive goal of winning for our clients by using words or actions to crush our opponents. But using words to unnecessarily embarrass or demean can change how others perceive you, affect the willingness of your opponent to cooperate, and most importantly, may violate the rules of professionalism. Review the rules that speak to how we communicate with adverse parties, and the practical consequences of ignoring those rules.

    Who’s the Boss? Update on Employee vs. Contractor and Joint Employer Status
    Cash-strapped taxing authorities and employee rights agencies want a clearly defined employer (or two) to take responsibility.
