Jeff Ward Interviewed for Daily Report article, “Georgia Defense Lawyers Stirred Up Over Proposed Opinion on Contacting Ex-Employees.“
The Fulton County Daily Report interviewed and highlighted Brunswick Partner, and GDLA President, Jeff Ward in their article Georgia Defense Lawyers Stirred Up Over Proposed Opinion on Contacting Ex-Employees discussing how “the proposed new formal advisory opinion, 20-1, [which] says plaintiffs attorneys may contact ex-employees of a company without first notifying or securing consent from the company’s lawyer. It also specifies disclosure rules for the lawyer contacting the ex-employee, in more detail than formal advisory opinion 94-3, which the proposed rule would replace.”
“This has gotten a lot of folks in the defense bar, and the business community, quite concerned,” said Jeff Ward, president of the Georgia Defense Lawyers’ Association and a partner at Drew Eckl & Farnham. “If a former disgruntled employee wants to get back at a former employer, this is one way to do it.”
