Did You Know This? 👍Before I tell you more, if you are interested in employment litigation, LIKE this post so I can learn what topics you want to hear about. ⚖️One of the types of litigation clients my law firm helps are: ➡️Defendants in a lawsuit ➡️They are an executive or higher-up employee ➡️The plaintiff is their former employer ➡️They have been accused of stealing confidential information, taking clients, or competing with their former employer in some way. ⚖️Employers are much more likely to sue employees than they used to be. ➡️Employers will file a lawsuit with minimal facts, and will use the lawsuit as a bargaining chip or an intimidation factor to try to force the former employee to not go after their customers, or to try to avoid paying severance to the employee. ⚖️Many times, but not always, the employee has less financial resources than the employer, which means they need to hire litigation counsel that is precise, resourceful, and strategic - and won't churn their file. ➡️Usually, the employer is trying to get access to the former employee's personal cell phone, or has already accessed it, sometimes in a high-pressure, sneaky way. By having access to the employee's text messages and emails, the employer is able to fish around for incriminating evidence. ➡️My firm loves helping employees and executives in these kinds of cases, and also represents employers too. We cover cases mostly in these courts, but also cover cases throughout the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia area: ⚖️Fairfax County Circuit Court ⚖️Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division ⚖️Arlington County Circuit Court 📞If you know someone in this situation, or if this is you, please don't hesitate to reach out to me - we can help or get you a referral for an employment lawyer. I will place links to my contact form in the comments, along with a signup form for my monthly Lipp Law E-Newsletter. ⭐Photo of my amazing Lipp Law team below, taken by the talented Jamie Sutera. #lipplaw #employmentlaw #virginialawyer #dclawyer #virginialawfirm #litigation

I have to clear the air on this... There are generally two different types of employment lawyers: (1) Company side, and (2) Employee side. 🦄My firm does both. We are stubborn unicorns in that way. What I have to clear the air on is... Some company-side lawyers look down on plaintiff's side employment attorneys. Some view plaintiff's lawyers like: 🚑"Ambulance chasers" 🥸 Unsophisticated 💸 Less than because many work off contingency (where the lawyer takes their fees from an earned settlement) I have had the pleasure of meeting many different employee-side lawyers during my (almost) 14 year-long legal career. They are anything than "unsophisticated." They are: 💗 Caring 📚 Skilled 🧠 Creative, and ⚖️ Motivated by a strong sense of justice. Underestimate them at your own peril. ❓Let me know in the comments below: have you seen these stereotypes or misconceptions? ⚖️ Employment lawyers: please introduce yourselves in the comments and let me know your favorite kind of case to work on. ➡️To stay on top of employment + business law updates in the DMV area (DC, Maryland, Virginia), sign up for my Lipp Law newsletter at the comments link. #lipplaw #employmentlaw #employmentlawyer #employmentlawyers #laborlaw #virginialawyer

Firm Managing Partner Dennis Kass was recently quoted in an article published by the Los Angeles Business Journal about the state of the hiring market of attorneys and the trends to keep an eye on. Despite many law firms slowing down their hiring after a blistering hot market the past few years, Manning Kass recently welcomed a group of 11 attorneys and six paralegals to its New York office. Kass shed some insight on the thought process behind these decisions.

Last year, I worked with a junior litigation associate who was pigeonholed into IP work and it wasn't the direction he wanted to take his career. Despite his best efforts, the firm wasn't giving him broader litigation opportunities. He came to me and after a lengthy conversation, I immediately knew where he should go but the firm didn't have an active role. 💡 Having placed multiple attorneys at the firm, I reached out and asked if the partner would be open to having a conversation and they agreed. 👏 After the associate spoke with the partner, he told me that the firm checked ALL of his boxes and asked, "how did I know." Not only did I listen, but I also knew based on my experience and a deep understanding of the market that it was the right role. Having been a recruiter for over a decade, there are times when associates come my way and I know the exact position that would be the best fit. 💡 I focus on finding the best match, not just moving someone from one place to another. I know enough about the California market to tell someone whether a role is or is not right for them. ☀ If you are considering a move in California and want an expert opinion of what your options are given what you are looking for, reach out. 😎 📩 [email protected] #Biglaw #Expert #BestAdvice #California
