Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick lawyer Chris Cavaliere recently gave a live webinar presentation to the Florida Court Clerks and Comptrollers (FCCC) on the topic, “Best Practices for Classifying Independent Contractors, Complying with Employment Laws and Avoiding Liability.” The FCCC is a statewide association comprised of the Florida Clerks of the Circuit Court and Comptrollers. It provides education and accreditation for Clerks of the Court and Comptrollers as well as information and technical assistance to local governments.

Cavaliere fights on the side of employers in legal disputes, helping businesses prevent and resolve legal disputes, particularly those with their own employees. Focusing on labor and employment law, he assists both large and small employers with HR and employment issues relating to hiring and firing, background checks, employee handbooks, compensation, overtime, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, unpaid wages, non-competition agreements, non-solicitation agreements, confidentiality agreements, and other topics.
