On November 9, 2016, following the stunning conclusion of the 2016 presidential election, Pryor Cashman partner and veteran labor and employment attorney Joshua Zuckerberg spoke with Law360 about how the Trump presidency will impact his clients and the landscape of L&E law.

In the piece, entitled “BigLaw Reacts to Trump’s Election to the White House,” Zuckerberg describes the extensive changes in policy and regulation he expects will come under the new administration:

“The doctrine that first comes to mind when considering a Trump presidency is ‘stare decisis,’ i.e., that precedent should be given significant weight in resolving legal disputes. It is fair to be concerned that Trump will make good on his promise to upend so much of what has been established by the Obama administration — everything from new overtime regulations and the Affordable Care Act to how employers should manage their transgender workforce. Clients invest time and resources to learn and adapt to these rules and regulations, and to the extent that Trump reverses them, it will certainly cause significant disruption and readjustment in how employers manage these complicated issues.”
