Ty Hyderally has been named the new president of the National Employment Lawyers Association of New Jersey (NELA). As president, Hyderally's top priority is educating lawyers who only occasionally take on employment law cases about the importance of careful case selection, as employment law can be a "minefield" for inexperienced attorneys. Hyderally also emphasizes the value of NELA membership for lawyers, including access to seminars, advice from other members, and involvement in amicus briefs. Despite legislation against discrimination, Hyderally notes that bias still exists in the workplace and many clients seek legal help due to facing retaliation rather than wanting monetary damages.
