On February 21, 2023, the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or “Board”) once again issued new precedent when holding that the mere proffer of a draft severance agreement containing broad confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions violated the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA” or “Act”). The severance agreement provisions before the Board contained extremely broad restrictions and arose in the context of underlying unfair labor practices (“ULPs”) that included circumventing a certified bargaining representative.

Q&A

“Carry yourself like a leader, even when you’re not technically leading anything. And that doesn’t mean telling anyone what to do or how to do it. It means showing that you care about the institution and its people and you’re always looking for ways to provide support and facilitate success.”

By: Chytanya S. Agarwal

Attorneys for Donald Trump are insisting that comments made by the foreperson of a grand jury impanneled in Fulton County, Georgia to hear evidence of crimes committed by Donald Trump and his allies in the wake of the 2020 election have irreversibly tainted the case against him.

It’s the latest effort by Mr Trump’s circle of allies to denigrate the integrity of those charged with investigating the multiple claims of wrongdoing that they face, and comes as cable news talking heads fretted over the weekend about whether Emily Kohrs had endangered the potential prosecution of Mr Trump or his advisers
