I just switched from insurance defense to management side employment law (in NY). While I am sure that I will learn by doing, I would like to shorten the learning curve. Are there any resources out there that could help provide a crash course in handling employment law cases?

When I did this years ago, I took a ton of employment law CLEs. I found it helpful to hear people talk about the law and their general experiences in the practice. PLI has a ton

like

Any robust CLE program should have plenty of L&E options. I even hole searched online for articles about my state/local employment laws and class action work if you’re looking to do that as well

like

I agree on the CLEs. I also recommend reading blog articles especially on new updates. The big 4 employment firms are really good about posting timely updates. Read those for free resources to learn about new hot topics.

How’d you make the switch? Small firm or midlaw?

Hi Fishes,

l interviewed for Deloitte (India not USI) in January, and accepted an offer letter with DOJ of 25th April, later HR asked me to join on 11th April for which I agreed. Now I haven't received the revised offer letter or any links other than BGV and Pre-Hire form from Deloitte and now the HR is not even picking my calls or responding to emails.
Any advice on what to do?
