DBL Law Partners Bob Hoffer and Kelly Schoening train corporate managers in the basics of employment law. The goal of the training is to help new managers (a) recognize state and federal laws regarding employee issues, (b) spot potential issues before they occur, and (c) promote and maintain a comfortable and productive work environment.
This year we were privileged to have the Chief Executive Officer of Safe Passage Consulting, Tony Casper, presenting alongside our Employment team. Also joining the seminar, we had members of Kegler Brown’s Workers' Compensation and Medical Marijuana practice areas.
Topics are as follows:
"Surviving Your Worst Fear: Documentation + Employment Litigation"; Jane Gleaves
This presentation will outline best practices for accurate and thorough record-keeping with an eye toward litigation. Jane will discuss the ways employers should document any problematic employees or work-place incidents so that their records can be helpful, rather than harmful, in future litigation. She will give examples of both good and bad documentation practices and illustrate how each can affect an employer’s position against a former employee in a lawsuit.
"Closing the Pay Gap: Case Law + Best Practices for Equal Pay"; Erin Cleary Herbst
Erin will identify and explore the gender gap in employment. She will provide an overview of relevant case law, plus tips and strategies for best practices in dealing with the gender pay gap.
"The Cost of Workplace Violence"; Tony Casper
During this presentation you will learn the effects of violence in the workplace on productivity and your staff. Tony will discuss steps to preventing and mitigating violence in the workplace. Also, he will discuss the importance of having proper policy, a threat assessment team, Physical Security Assessments and quality training.
"A Legal Outlook of Medical Marijuana: What’s On the Horizon?"; Lloyd Pierre-Louis + Randy Mikes
Lloyd + Randy will analyze the potential impact of the legalization of medical marijuana in Ohio. Lloyd will cover issues related to the legal challenges and trends in the medical marijuana industry, discuss the Ohio regulatory environment and statutes, and touch on Ohio court cases. Then, Randy will talk about issues including allowance of claims, return to work, and extent of disability. They will also look at what to expect in terms of regulations and the practical impact legalization may have on employment areas including but not limited to workers’ compensation.
"My Mind’s Playing Tricks on Me!"; Brendan Feheley
Brendan will focus on the intersection between FMLA and the ADA with a special emphasis on mental health conditions. This presentation will examine recent developments regarding certification of and reasonable accommodations for mental health conditions.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

1. Top 9 Reasons Attorneys Lose Law Firm Jobs
By Harrison Barnes from Los Angeles Office Managing Director
Summary: Find out the nine most common reasons attorneys end up losing their law firm jobs in this article.
A lawyer can lose their job for a variety of reasons.
Some of those reasons can be of their own doing.
In other cases, the reason they lost their job is beyond their control.
Find out the nine most common reasons attorneys lose their law firm jobs.
There are a variety of reasons why attorneys end up losing their law firm jobs. Some reasons are completely
out of their control, such as not enough work in their practice area, getting sick and then being laid off after
you return to the firm, the firm going out of business, and so on. On the other hand, many other reasons are
due to mistakes on the part of the attorney, whether it is due to performance issues, issues with the culture,
your inability to pass the bar, not being able to develop a good book of business, and so on. Here are the
nine most common reasons attorneys lose law firm jobs:
Partners left your firm and left you without work, so the firm let you go. The natural question that law firms
will have for you if you are in this situation is: "Why didn't they take you with them? Were you not committed
enough?" Law firms want to hire the best people they can and if you did not lateral with others from your firm,
this suggests that you were not the most valuable member of the pack. When partners leave firms, they take
with them the people who work the hardest and are the most committed. They leave behind those they do not
want. If the partners did not take you, why didn't the former law firm keep you around? You need to be
prepared for this question and have references and reasons. For example, perhaps the law firm to which the
partners went did not allow any new associates to come along.
The firm laid you off because there was not enough work. When law firms do layoffs, they do not layoff
everyone--no matter how bad things get. They layoff only the people they do not want, or who are the least
productive (and therefore the least committed). You better be prepared for this as well. You need to let the
new firm know that everyone was laid off and you were not alone, for example.
You were fired for performance reasons. This, of course, also suggests a lack of commitment. If you were
committed enough to your job, you would not have made the mistakes you did and would not have been
fired. You need to let the firm know that you made a mistake, learned from it, and will not make the same
mistake again. If there is a way to get around not saying this, you are better off doing so. Attorneys who are
fired for performance reasons typically are fired not for just making one mistake, but for a consistent pattern of
doing so. This is a huge warning sign to future law firms.
You left because you were uncomfortable with the culture. If you did not like the culture of one place, the
odds are good that you will not like the culture of another place either. You should have found another job
first--law firms will believe that if you were serious about your career (and not your needs), you would have
gotten a new job before you left your last one. You are expected to fit in with different cultures: You are a
lawyer and need to work with different sorts of clients. If you cannot fit in with a law firm culture, this raises
questions that you will not fit in with the next law firm culture either. Lawyers who do not like the culture of
their firms may have good reasons for this. Nevertheless, in the experience of most law firms, attorneys who
use this excuse tend to have difficulty getting along with others in any environment. No law firm culture is
perfect. Instead of telling your interviewer that you were uncomfortable with the culture of your last firm, you
should say something vaguer, such as "it was not a good fit for me." It is best not to attack another firm's
culture.
You left because you were sick. While getting sick is something that happens to most people, an extended
absence due to illness (or losing your job due to this) and leaving a law firm due to this is not common. Law
firms are composed of human beings who are "somewhat" compassionate, and the presumption is that a law
firm will take you back if you got sick. This is a sign that something else is going on.
The law firm did not have work for you after you took a maternity/paternity leave and so the firm let you
Page 1 WWW.BCGSEARCH.COM
2. go. At the outset, I want to make something very clear: Men who take extended paternity leave (more than a
week) and then come back to their law firms often are not given work. I hate to be the one to bear this news,
but I have seen this again and again. Women are almost always welcomed back. My role here is not to judge
the differences in the roles of each sex; I am just an observer of what happens in large law firms. Men are not
expected to take paternity leaves and with women it is fine. Nevertheless, if a woman takes an extended
maternity leave, then the firm may be upset and not give her work. How much is too much? Generally, at the
largest firms, more than three months or so is not advisable. If a firm does not have work for someone when
he or she gets back, this is generally the result of the attorney not having sufficiently ingratiated him or herself
with other attorneys to get back in the cycle, or the attorney not having done good enough work to begin with.
You were fired because you did not pass the bar after a few attempts. This is common and difficult to
overcome. If someone does not pass the bar after the first attempt (often simply because the person did not
study enough), the person may fail the second time he or she takes the bar because he or she is working and
not studying. This is a valid excuse but not one that law firms care about. Law firms believe that the bar exam
is a sign of commitment and if you do not put forward your full effort it shows you are not committed. The bar
exam is the lowest hanging fruit to show commitment, and not passing the bar never looks good.
Nevertheless, lots of famous people have failed the bar, and it is not something that should consume you.
Here are some examples:
a. Michelle Obama
b. Franklin D. Roosevelt
c. Hillary Clinton
d. Kathleen Sullivan
e. Gov. Jerry Brown
f. Pat Robertson
g. Congressman Harold Ford Jr.
h. New York Mayor Ed Koch
i. Pete Wilson
You were fired for low hours. If you were fired for low hours, this raises the question of why your hours were
low to begin with. As an attorney, you are expected to seek out work and create work if necessary. Law firms
do not like it if you did not have work in your last job because the best attorneys typically always find ways to
stay busy and find work one way or another. If you have low hours, it is best explained by the fact that there
was no work at all, or that you spent your time at the firm getting work from only one person and so forth.
Not enough business. Partners are fired all the time in law firms for not having enough business. If this is the
case, the partner needs to find a firm that has sufficient work to support the partner. Alternatively, the partner
needs to have a convincing story that he or she will generate significant business for the next firm.
