Lorie Almon Quoted in the Employment and Financial Services Law360
"Layoffs Likely To Spark Legal Wrangles"

Lorie Almon was quoted in the October 1, 2008 editions of Employment and Financial Services Law360 publications in the article, "Layoffs Likely To Spark Legal Wrangles." The article discussed how, with the financial crisis and mass layoffs on Wall Street, companies are bracing themselves for the legal battles to come. Lorie noted that employees pursuing legal actions in the wake of layoffs may also be inspired to question the legality of a wide variety of their employer's practices. She also explained that "While many people may initially seek legal counsel for purposes of reviewing separation agreements following group layoffs, it is almost inevitable that some will walk out of their attorneys' offices with the plan of challenging the employer's pay practices and employment policies on a class-wide basis."
