My partner John Husband was quoted in the Denver Business Journal discussing how expanding regulations are driving the focus of employment and labor law. As he notes in the article, the specialty practice of labor and employment litigation is driven by an ever-expanding body of regulation, which creates a growing demand for attorneys in the field. There are two segments of the specialty, and each has legislation either recently approved or pending that will dramatically change the rules of engagement. In the employment law area, just check out the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, passed by Congress in response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber. As for Labor, the Employee Free Choice Act is still on the horizon.
