Employer’s Legal Pad—Chapter Fifteen Checklist

  • When hiring an attorney, look for one with a lot of experience in labor and/or employment law. Don’t be on the wrong end of someone else’s learning curve.
  • Disclose everything to your attorney that might possibly be relevant to the case.
  • Before you testify, review all written records thoroughly to refresh your memory.
  • Before you testify in court or give a deposition, take some time to review the witness stand instructions presented in this chapter with your attorney.
  • Before settlement or any settlement conference, assess the strengths and weakness of your case, the pros and cons of settlement, and the ramifications of trial.
