Maintaining Compliance, Preserving Value and Retaining Employees During Acquisition
In early 2020, our client engaged in significant restructuring of its operations that included sales of several operating units. It was critical for the company to maintain compliance and preserve value in the company during this time. We assisted the companies with retention agreements for key employees to retain their services to preserve value for a buyer, as well as overseeing reductions in force and severance programs as a result of shrinking support operations as schools were sold.
Conducting Extensive Training for Management and Employees
Miles & Stockbridge conducts extensive training for management and employees on topics of harassment, FMLA, internal investigations and employment law for managers.
