I engaged Ted Kazaglis and his team at Jackson Lewis to advise our staffing company on a complex situation involving employee classification and COVID-19 safety protocols that threatened significant liability. From our first consultation, Ted's deep, 18-year foundation in employment law was evident. He didn't just give generic advice; he leveraged his specific, recognized focus on the alternative staffing industry to tailor a strategy that addressed our unique operational model. His understanding of the legal landscape, particularly the evolving guidelines around the pandemic, was invaluable and clearly reflects the recognition he's received in employment law management. Ted was pragmatic, explaining our risks and options with clarity, which allowed us to make informed business decisions that ultimately resolved the matter favorably without litigation. The one area where we experienced minor delays was in receiving draft documents; sometimes the turnaround was a bit longer than initially hoped, which can be challenging in fast-moving situations. However, the final work product was always thorough and precise. Overall, Ted is a consummate professional whose experience from The University of Akron to his principal role at a national firm like Jackson Lewis provided our Raleigh-based business with top-tier counsel. I confidently recommend him for any management-side employment law concern.
