Legal Woes When Employees Leave
The insurance industry is a competitive market, even when it comes to its workforce. It’s no secret, there’s a shortage of highly-qualified insurance professionals at all levels of the industry. And recent news about 100-plus employees leaving CRC Insurance to possibly work for a competitor highlights the employee shortfall even more. In this interview, we will talk with Stephen Hirschfeld, a founding partner for the law firm Curiale Hirschfeld Kraemer in San Francisco. His practice involves labor and employment law in both the private and public sector. Hirschfeld advises clients throughout the country on day-to-day legal issues affecting the workplace, including employee discipline and terminations, union organizing, workforce reductions, discrimination claims, proprietary information and trade secrets disputes, executive employment contracts, and other human resources issues. He also serves as the CEO the Employment Law Alliance, the world’s largest network of labor and employment lawyers.
