Career

Who Is My Employee? Todd Lebowitz has built a practice niche helping companies nationwide answer that question. Independent contractor misclassification and joint employment claims can be costly. Todd helps businesses create common sense, customized solutions that limit risk. His in-depth understanding of the many classification tests that apply to different laws, different industries, and different states has made him a go-to resource for Fortune 500 companies, regional and local businesses.

Todd leads the firm’s national Contingent Workforce Practice Team. Todd has successfully defended misclassification claims of all sizes, obtaining outright dismissals in numerous class actions and reaching settlements as low as zero dollars, often based on programs Todd had developed for the same client. Todd advocates a proactive review of contracts with independent contractors, staffing agencies, and other providers of non-employee labor. Steps can almost always be taken to reduce risk and create the facts needed to successfully defend a classification dispute.

Todd’s award-winning blog, WhoIsMyEmployee.com explores issues related to independent contractor misclassification and joint employment, providing valuable information about risks, tips, trends and developments (sprinkled with vaguely related classic rock and ’80s pop culture references).

Todd also serves as a trusted advisor to clients on a broad range of complex employment law issues, including background checks, hiring, disability and accommodation issues, medical leaves, discipline, terminations and reductions in force. Todd closely follows the maze of federal, state and local background check laws and has designed nationwide background check compliance programs for large national employers. His approach to employment law is to help companies solve legal problems in a way that makes business sense. He strives to be responsive, attentive, and proactive, and he aims to partner with his clients in understanding their business needs and helping them to anticipate problems before they arise.
