VI-112- 5th Anniversary Episode: An Old Friend Talking Politics and the Impact on Employers
Michael Schmidt
For this 5th anniversary episode, I am joined by my guest from the very first podcast episode on February 1, 2017 (and every anniversary since), Howard Schweitzer, to talk about the state of politics on the federal, state, and local levels, and the impact on employers in 2022.
Michael C. Schmidt is the vice chair of the firm’s Labor & Employment Department, and the office managing partner, vice chair, of the New York Midtown office, where he is resident. For more than two decades, Mike has concentrated his practice on representing companies and management in all facets of employment law, such as: (i) defense in litigation involving wage and hour (overtime and unpaid compensation), discrimination, harassment, retaliation and whistle-blowing, non-competes and trade secrets, and disability and other leave-related issues; (ii) day-to-day counseling and in-house training on issues from hiring to firing, and other questions unique to his client’s industries and business; and (iii) drafting and reviewing employment agreements, termination and severance agreements, confidentiality and non-competes, and employment policies and manuals.
