A global consumer products company needed continuity across its litigation and labor and employment functions when the director of litigation and employment prepared to go on maternity leave. The company sought an experienced lawyer who could step in on a part-time basis and manage ongoing litigation and employment matters, allowing the legal team to maintain continuity and momentum throughout the leave period.
SOLUTION
The company engaged a senior attorney through Latitude with more than a decade of Big Law experience handling complex commercial litigation and labor and employment matters. Her background included managing high-stakes commercial disputes, advising on labor and employment matters, supporting trial teams, and leading workplace investigations.
She worked closely with the General Counsel to manage active litigation and employment matters, ensuring consistent coverage throughout the leave period. She also supported internal employment investigations, including traveling nationally to conduct employee interviews.
After successfully supporting the legal team throughout the eight-month leave, the company hired her as a full-time member of its legal team.
