The Law and You—Protecting Your Firm Against Class-Action Litigation

Identifying and mitigating risk is a critical component to a company’s long-term growth, profitability, and sustainability. For staffing firms, class-action litigation remains a top threat. The cost of defense, settlement, or verdict—as well as the time required to mount a defense—can be enormous.
