Changing Roles

Occasionally this “employee rights” lawyer will change roles to defend an employer.  Why would I do that?  For several reasons.  First, it pays.  Secondly, it informs:  I learn to see the world more clearly through the eyes of the employer, and to come out of the trance that my “employee clients” are always right, and without blemish.  Thirdly, and more philosophically, I never stop being an “employee rights” lawyer even when I defend an employer.  Employers who play by the rules are “employee rights” employers.  They should be protected from lawsuits that allege false and sometimes frivolous allegations that they have been otherwise.
