Human Resources & Talent Development League

HR Legal Hotline: Access to specialized HR attorneys for employment-related questions.

All League members will have access to a specialized HR attorney at James-Bates-Brannan-Groover-LLP. The new CBA HR Legal Hotline includes human resource/employment questions related to hiring, firing, discipline, employee handbook interpretation, internal employee investigations, wage and hour questions, FMLA, ADA, ADEA, Title VII, and Pregnancy Act as well as any other basic employment law questions/issues that may arise from time to time. Each member will have access to this service four times in any given month. Members may also be eligible for services at a reduced rate after utilizing the four free calls.

^{*Disclaimer - This Hotline is intended for simple, straightforward questions such as "what is the general law in a particular area?" We suggest seeking a legal opinion from independent counsel or engaging our firm on a direct basis depending on the complexity of the question posed. More in-depth issues (i.e. review our handbook and make changes, draft policies, draft employment agreements, separation agreements, or our employee has sued us . . . etc.) will require a formal legal engagement and establishment of a direct attorney-client relationship.}
