Staffing

Overview

Our industry-leading experience and understanding of the business and of the legal issues impacting staffing companies empowers you to achieve your business goals. The Taylor English staffing team pulls from a strong background of in-house experience, and includes four former GCs, including the former GC of the U.S. subsidiary of the world’s second largest staffing company. The team also includes senior attorneys with decades of experience at national employment and labor law firms. This high-level experience allows us to understand our staffing clients’ business objectives, the delicate balance between the interests of a staffing company and its customer, and a staffing company’s need to bring predictability to its legal expenditures. We have advised specialized staffing companies in most industries, as well as clients using their services. Our attorneys often collaborate with the American Staffing Association regarding legal and business issues facing the industry.

"Taylor English understands that when we engage the firm's services, our opportunity for gaining revenue depends upon quick focus and excellent responsiveness. In addition to high-quality legal and industry expertise, the attorneys bring business practicality by advising us when business opportunities do not fit our Company's standards and foregoing the additional legal work that could be performed on such matters. That same business sense allows Taylor English to balance the need to reduce Helpmates' risk, while at the same time working to ensure that our business opportunities are not constrained."

- Dan Struve, Chief Executive Officer, Helpmates Staffing Services
