Our company faced a daunting Department of Labor audit regarding the classification of our independent contractors. The potential liability was significant. We engaged Neil Alexander based on his deep experience and his specific role as Co-Chair of Littler's Contingent Workforce Practice Group. From the outset, his 32 years of focused labor and employment expertise were evident. He didn't just react; he conducted a thorough internal review, educating our leadership team on the nuanced legal landscape. His strategic counsel during negotiations was masterful. Neil’s trial background meant he prepared our case as if it were going before a judge, which gave us tremendous confidence. The result was a favorable settlement that avoided litigation and allowed us to restructure our engagement models compliantly. His recognition in Employment and Labor Law management is well-deserved.
