Sound Business Insights Episode 21 - War Stories Part 2 continues the conversation with Dan Watkins about genuine scenarios the firm has worked through in the past which might be valuable to any business professional, executive, employer, member, shareholder or investor. This episode begins with the fact that the best thing any employer can do at the first hint of an employee dispute is to contact the Watkins Firm immediately for a free consultation. In many cases we are able to counsel our clients and provide insight into how they can not only protect their interests, but take action to remediate or remedy the situation at hand to reduce potential exposure(s). Dan shares a few stories about a few appearances on Good Morning America and other national television broadcasts - national cases in which the Watkins Firm was able to achieve a positive outcome for clients against substantial corporate interests. The conversation turns to shareholders, members and investors who invest in a company only to run into problems down the road. Dan says, it is most often when success arrives that disputes - usually surrounding money - arise. Dan discusses representing physicians who were part of a national chain of service entities where an officer in the corporate entity was inappropriately allocating expenses to each group which were inappropriate and vastly overstated. The conversation turns to the topic of PAGA - Private Attorneys General Act - lawsuits and the rise in the cases facing California and San Diego employers in the past few years.
