• Draft and edit employment-related documents, correspondence, agreements, processes and policies.
• Manage legal risks and provide solutions for resolving employment disputes.
• Provide support and strategic advice on employment litigation matters.
• Participate in the creation and delivery of training related to employment law matters.
