From Termination to Trial: Myra Creighton v. GEAR Enterprises LLC
Presented by C. R. Wright, Partner, Fisher Phillips

Follow the story of GEAR Enterprises LLC as they terminate an employee and then deal with the aftermath of the termination. They claim the employee was terminated for poor performance, but the former employee believes otherwise. Attendees will witness a mock trial via a series of video vignettes to determine what really happened and how GEAR Enterprises LLC may have avoided the lawsuit. Are your managers and supervisors a potential liability in an employment litigation case? If you have doubts, you should attend this mock trial presentation.
