Meet Laegan Meyers + Lessons from Employment Litigation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, Pam Howland and Jennifer Walrath welcome Idaho Employment Lawyers' newest attorney, Laegan Meyers, to Ground Rules.
Drawing on her experience defending employers in litigation, Laegan shares what she sees once a workplace dispute reaches the courtroom—and, more importantly, what employers can do now to reduce the chances of ever getting there.
From documentation and employee handbooks to workplace communications and discovery, the conversation explores how everyday decisions can become critical evidence in litigation. You'll also hear why contemporaneous documentation matters, what employers should know about Teams, Slack, emails, and text messages, and why proactive compliance is almost always less expensive than defending a lawsuit.
If you're looking for practical ways to better protect your organization—and get to know IEL's newest attorney along the way—this episode is a great place to start.
