My practice has involved a wide range of legal matters from commercial real estate, finance and international business transactions to litigation matters including commercial disputes, real estate, employment, and medical malpractice. Proficient in Spanish, I graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Law, the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, and the University of Southern California. Prior to my legal career, I sought diverse professional experiences. After graduating from college, I orchestrated my own volunteering experience in southern Peru with a small non-profit organization. Later I gained valuable professional experience as part of a U.S. Senate campaign, and after that I joined the public policy team at Greater Louisville, Inc., Louisville's Chamber of Commerce affiliate. Prior to law school, I embarked on a month long excursion with the Northern Outdoor Leadership School in Alaska, which gave me a new found appreciation for sustainability.

Employment Legal Questions and Answers
Employment
Employment Handbook
Florida
Employment handbook disciplinary policy?
I am an employee at a large company and I recently received a disciplinary action for an incident that occurred in the workplace. I was given a copy of the company's Employee Handbook, but I am not sure what the disciplinary policy is or what the consequences are for violating the policy. I would like to understand the disciplinary policy so that I can better understand the disciplinary action taken against me.
Diane D.
You would have to submit the policy to an attorney so that it can be explained to you. You can submit a work order through ContractsCounsel.

Physician Employment Agreement
North Carolina
Key terms in physician employment agreements?
I am a physician who is considering a job opportunity at a hospital, and I am in the process of negotiating employment terms. I am interested in understanding the key terms that should be included in a physician employment agreement so that I can make the best decisions for my career.
N'kia N.
Generally, a physician employment agreement contains most of the same terms as any other employment agreement. However, some of the terms must be tailored to the role. Additionally, the agreement may contain terms that are specific to the physician role. Below are some key terms in physician employment agreements: License and Continuing Education - By law, to be a physician, an individual must obtain a professional license and then must earn continuing education credits to retain the license. Most physician employment agreements address these requirements, including such factors as whether the employer or the employee is responsible for the costs associated with compliance. Privacy and Confidentiality - Physicians have more privacy and confidentiality obligations than the typical employee. For example, a physician must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"). Physician employment agreements commonly address standards regarding patients' information, as well as the employers' proprietary information. Special Restrictions - Due to the nature of the physician role, employers might prohibit their physician employees from providing physician services elsewhere ("non-competition agreement"). Also, some might prohibit their physician employees from soliciting patients to receive physician services elsewhere ("non-solicitation agreement"). Special considerations - Further, as applicable, physician employment agreements will detail any special considerations for the role, such as stock options, relative value unit ("RVU") expectations, or volunteering, teaching, or scholarship requirements.

Acceptable Use Policy
Georgia
Can I be held legally responsible for violating an Acceptable Use Policy?
I work for a large technology company and recently discovered that I unintentionally violated our company's Acceptable Use Policy by using company resources for personal purposes. Although I did not realize this was against the policy, I'm concerned about potential legal consequences and whether I can be held personally liable for any damages or disciplinary actions as a result of this violation.
Sara S.
Hi, Your employee handbook may have the answer to this and is worth a review with a qualified attorney. Attorneys skilled in intellectual property may be able to give you more insight as well.

Severance Agreement
Ohio
Can my employer modify the terms of my severance agreement after I have signed it?
I recently signed a severance agreement with my employer, which outlined the terms and conditions of my departure from the company, including a monetary compensation package. However, my employer has now informed me that they want to modify certain aspects of the agreement. I am unsure if they have the legal right to do so, and I am seeking clarification on whether my employer can make changes to the severance agreement after it has been signed.
Gary S.
Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this question. In general, NO, once a severance agreement has been signed by both the employer and the employee, the agreement cannot be modified. However, if the employer hasn't yet signed the agreement, and only the employee has signed the agreement, the employer may suggest modified terms as part of the negotiation. Also, if the agreement has been executed by both parties and the agreement contains a revocation period, the employee (or possibly the employer) may still be able to revoke the agreement within a certain number of days. The agreement would have to be reviewed to see if it has a revocation clause. Bottom line, if both parties have signed a validly executed severance agreement, the employer cannot unilaterally modify the terms of the agreement, unless the agreement states otherwise. * This response is for general information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. For advice specific to your situation, please consult a qualified attorney.
Employment
Dental Associate Contract
Texas
What are the key elements to consider when reviewing a dental associate contract?
I am a dentist who has been offered a dental associate position at a private practice, and I am seeking legal advice regarding the key elements I should be aware of when reviewing the dental associate contract. I want to ensure that the terms of the contract are fair and reasonable, and that they protect my rights and interests as an associate. Additionally, I would like to understand any potential implications or restrictions within the contract that may affect my future career opportunities or potential for growth within the dental industry.
Darryl S.
There are many complex issues to review in a contract of this type and I've found that the employment agreements given to medical professionals are frequently very one-sided to the benefit of the employer with complex non-compete and non-solicit restrictions. The things that should be outlined include the job responsibilities, compensation (including bonus strux), benefits, and probably most importantly termination provisions that outline compensation for termination without cause and what constitutes cause. Lastly, I alway recommend a dispute resolution process that involves mediation and arbitration rather than the courts.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
