This conversation was recorded as part of Work Shouldn't Suck's https://www.workshouldntsuck.co/ethical-reopening-summit-2021 (Ethical Re-Opening Summit) that took place on April 27, 2021. Coming off a year that has echoed sentiments of feeling out of control, leaders from across sectors and industries have questions about employment law, safety, and other areas impacting how we earn a living in the wake of COVID. Those in smaller organizations or independent contractors also struggle with keeping up to date with worker-related rights and legislation. Panelist Andrea Milano, special counsel at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, brings attention to the importance of knowing the different standards and stringent guidelines which vary state-to-state, city-to-city. Progress begins with awareness. And once we independently see where we need help, and actually ask for it, the necessary resources can be found to guide businesses, small and large, on how to pivot. ANDREA MILANO focuses her practice on all aspects of employment litigation, counseling and traditional labor matters. She manages a diverse caseload of class, collective and representative actions, single plaintiff litigation, and traditional labor matters. She has significant experience drafting and arguing substantive motions, conducting discovery, and preparing for trial. Andrea regularly provides direct advice and counsel on a broad spectrum of labor and employment law matters, including conducting positive employee relations and sexual harassment avoidance trainings; investigating payroll and wage and hour audits; developing, drafting and revising handbooks and employment policies; and managing performance issues, terminations and reductions in force. While she has handled litigation and employment matters across many industries, her focus has been on technology, hospitality and health care.

What's the difference between passion and perseverance? Passion only takes you so far and perseverance takes you the rest of the way. Take Jenna Carter (Director of Administration for K&L Gates, LLP, Washington, D.C.) and Chassidy Deckard (Director of Administration for the Texas region of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, LLP) for example. Their perseverance has gotten them to where they are today and through the adversity of a high-pressure job, to overcoming the obstacles and blazing their own trail, these two powerhouse women show us what it looks like when the rubber truly meets the road.
