It’s the season for good cheer, but unfortunately, for many employers around the country, the holiday season can bring with it its own legal headaches. From employee parties and drunk driving, to failure to accommodate religious concerns, there are any numbers of legal pitfalls out there that sensible employers must be aware of.

The office party is the one day of the year when employees get a chance to mingle, and barriers between superiors and subordinates fall. Soon, spirits soar, and employees may find themselves in situations which they would otherwise avoid. For instance, it’s not uncommon to find male employees becoming overly demonstrative when they attempt to share the holiday joy with female coworkers. In the real world, that could lead to charges of sexual harassment that an employer must beware of.

Besides, if your employee consumes alcohol at an office Christmas party or New Year’s bash, and then goes out and causes an accident, then you, as an employer, could likely be held liable for any damages arising out of the accident.

Besides, we tend to forget that Christmas for many Americans, is a religious holiday. There may be church services to attend, and these may not take place on the holiday. That means that employees may expect you to accommodate their religious beliefs and give them time out to attend religious services. It’s not unheard of to have employment lawsuits that claim undue hardship when employers fail to accommodate such religious practices. Safe to say, there are no hard and fast rules for these kinds of requests, and as an employer, you will need to take each case and consider it on its own merits to avoid a lawsuit.

The threat of litigation this holiday season should be all the more reason why you should consult with an asset protection attorney.

Doug is one of the most powerful thinker i have came across. During the short time that i have known Doug he has been a great source of inspiration. He has a simplistic yet effective and accurate way to analyze anything you bring to his attention, and then by asking you key questions he gets you to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Besides being extremely bright, he is a genuine and caring individual which is why I feel fortunate to know him. I can say without a doubt that he his the person you would want to talk to if you were in need of a person with his expertise.
Most of the lawyers out there will probably meet your needs, but if you are looking for someone to exceed your expectations and give you that wow factor, look no more he is the person for the job.

I have been a client of Douglas Lodmell’s since 2001. My main concern was asset protection in this litigious society. I can sleep alot better at night knowing I have the instruments in place to protect the fruits of my labor, and that they will not end up in the hands of a slick trial attorney.
