Practical guidance offering helps labor and employment attorneys handle counseling, contracts and litigation with greater efficiency and confidence

October 14, 2014 — NEW YORK - LexisNexis® Legal & Professional today announced the launch of a Labor & Employment offering for Lexis Practice Advisor®, its online practical guidance product. The new offering provides labor and employment attorneys with expert guidance, forms and supporting documents to assist them in delivering expert counsel, drafting documents, and handling matters with greater efficiency and confidence. Developed by a LexisNexis team of expert practitioners in partnership with lawyers at leading firms, Lexis Practice Advisor Labor & Employment was designed to enable attorneys in law firms and corporations to streamline their workflow, keep current on practical implications of trends in the practice, and quickly bring associates up-to-speed.

“Labor and employment attorneys are responsible for a wide variety of complex assignments – from preparing contracts and policies, to providing counsel on compliance and labor issues, to assessing risks,” said Kevin Elphick, vice president, Lexis Practice Advisor. “Lexis Practice Advisor Labor & Employment offers comprehensive resources and insights that give labor lawyers a powerful tool kit to provide advice and counsel, and handle a broad range of matters more efficiently.”

Lexis Practice Advisor Labor & Employment delivers expert guidance, practice notes, model forms, checklists, and trends on key labor and employment activities. It covers topics such as screening and hiring; non-compete clauses and trade secret protection; equal employment opportunity counseling; attendance, leaves and disability management; wage and hour compliance; layoffs/RIFs; and much more.

The practical guidance, notes, checklists and sample forms included in the offering are authored by attorneys practicing at leading firms such as Proskauer Rose LLP, Paul Hastings LLP, Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart P.C., Littler Mendelson P.C. and Gibson Dunn LLP. A LexisNexis in-house team of practitioners complements this content with extensive LexisNexis resources such as additional forms, related cases and codes, and trends and emerging issues from leading sources such as Matthew Bender®, ALM, the United States Department of Labor, and the United States Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.
