Jean M.Wilson

Jean has handled employment litigation for clients for almost two decades, and understands the risks that employers face. While she still handles litigation matters, her practice focuses on supporting employers on an ongoing basis to help them avoid litigation, and comply with ever-changing employment laws. Jean turns her litigation experience into practical advice for employers in running their businesses. She works with employers on hiring matters, and has specific experience in the Fair Credit Reporting Act and state background check laws. Jean also counsels employers on other matters, including leaves of absence, accommodations, performance counseling, discipline, workplace investigations, reductions-in-force, and employee separations.

Prior to becoming an attorney, Jean worked as an assistant director providing support to adults with developmental disabilities. This experience managing employees has provided Jean with real-world insight into the challenges faced by managers and employers, and has helped her think about and implement creative solutions to their everyday problems.

Jean partners with clients to help them achieve their desired results. She enjoys working with business leaders, managers, and employee relations teams to develop processes and creative solutions to everyday matters.
