Burleson LLP Attorney Andrea "AJ" Johnson Shares Employment Strategies For A Changing Economy At March 11 Event

HOUSTON, March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Andrea "AJ" Johnson, partner in Burleson LLP's Houston office, will share key insights on employment law issues in a changing economy at a complimentary luncheon on March 11.  The firm-hosted event, which is part of Burleson's ongoing educational series, will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Kirby's Steakhouse in The Woodlands. 

In her talk, Johnson will cover risks and recommended strategies for handling reorganizations and reductions in force, legally enforceable releases and separation agreements, and employee relations in a changing economic climate. 

"Litigation is always a top concern when companies are confronted with the difficult decision of reorganizing or reducing their workforce," said Johnson.  "There are risks, but layoffs don't have to mean lawsuits.  My thought is to take a close look at the issues and provide attendees with best practice strategies to help companies adapt to a tougher economic climate without taking on added exposure to litigation."

Johnson's 30-plus years of practice have focused on a diverse range of employment issues. She represents managers and companies in and out of Texas – at trial, in arbitration and mediation, and before state and federal appeals courts – and she has advised her clients on every aspect of employee relations, from discrimination/retaliation controversies to wage and hour disputes to noncompetition questions. 

Johnson is an AV-rated lawyer of many years, co-chair of Burleson's Texas Litigation Team, and a sought-after speaker and writer.   She has been named a Texas Super Lawyer in employment law for seven consecutive years and won one of the largest commercial verdicts in Texas in 2013.

The seminar is part of the firm's Trends, Terms and Lessons Learned series, which is designed to encourage open discussion of significant issues impacting the energy industry and other sectors served by Burleson.

Human Resource Certification Institute, Texas CLE, and CPE credits are pending.  To register for the seminar, click here.
