Labor and employment law is always evolving — and so are the challenges it creates for healthcare employers. Kim Daniel and her team partner with clients on day-to-day compliance questions and high-stakes litigation alike. “Maintaining a skilled, engaged and high-performing workforce is important and sometimes legally challenging.”
Kim’s practice is diverse in scope. She has defended employment law cases of every variety, including wrongful termination, discrimination and harassment, Fair Labor Standards Act matters, and noncompetition disputes. Kim also regularly handles medical staff issues and hearings for healthcare entities and professionals, and advises clients on employee benefit matters.
Her approach is simple. “I listen and learn as much as possible about each client and their current issues and goals,” she says. “Together, we partner to develop individualized, practical and timely solutions to their challenges that fit their budget, timetable and risk tolerance. I’m interested in solving problems today and forming strategies for future success. At Hancock, Daniel & Johnson, P.C., our team services multiple practice areas for many clients, and our ability to understand all the factors at play and develop the best legal solution for each client’s unique circumstances is unparalleled.”
