You know the street smart character in movies that pays attention to the caution signs and is risk adverse to adventure? That's me when I am advising clients on employment and HR matters on how to make it to safe ground. The trouble with the employment landscape today, however, is that the ground is now moving daily and there's a new meteor storm of federal regulations or new state legislation more frequently than ever before. As a trusted advisor and creative legal thinker, I am the navigator to safer ground and know the market space from both my litigation and transactional background. I am also one of the few that can brag with this tag line: ''Experienced, Respected and Tested'' and branded as a Board Certified Labor and Employment Lawyer by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Although risk adverse to ''adventurous'' employment decisions, both my firm and myself are no strangers to litigation. As part of a diverse team of seasoned litigators, patent, intellectual property, tax, corporate, commercial real estate, fund investment and restructuring lawyers, our team is the firepower businesses turn to when other litigators cannot weave together a heavy hitting team—especially in the context of non-competes and theft of trade secrets. My clients also search me out because I pare down the difficult and organize their employment messes. In that way, I'm also a legal ''organizer'' of employment handbooks and policies. If simplicity and safety is needed for your employment matters, let's talk. If you need a heavy hitting litigation team, Platt Cheema Richmond, PLLC offers the widest range of smaller law firms in your firepower to take out the other side.
