Description: It has been one year since many law firms, including ours, closed their physical doors and opened for business “virtually.” And while the past year has been one of the most, if not the most, challenging for our profession, one thing that this year has shown is how resourceful and resilient attorneys can be. When faced with uncertainty as to how litigation matters would proceed when it isn’t safe for people to be in the same room with each other, lawyers used existing, and developed new, forms of communicating. In this one hour program, Helene Wasserman and Jannine Kranz will delve into the ways litigators not only survived, but thrived, in their representation of clients in depositions, arbitrations, mediations, hearings and even trials during the pandemic.

A seasoned trial attorney, Helene is the former Co-Chair of Littler’s Litigation and Trial Practice Group. She has tried single and multiplaintiff cases involving claims of discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination and wage and hour claims, amongst others.

Prior to joining Littler, Jannine worked at a large full service law firm where she practiced labor and employment law. She represented employers in a broad range of employment litigation matters, including defending against discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, breach of contract, defamation, whistleblower retaliation and wage and hour claims. Jannine also defended PAGA claims and wage and hour class action cases. During her tenure, she drafted a successful motion for summary judgment on a whistleblower retaliation case and drafted and argued a successful motion for summary adjudication in a disability discrimination case which resulted in the dismissal of all of plaintiff’s employment claims. Jannine also provided advice and counsel to clients on various personnel issues, including payroll, termination, medical leave and employee handbooks.

Jannine previously worked at a medical malpractice defense firm, where she served as the second chair attorney in two trials, gaining valuable experience as she prepared and argued the motions in limine and other pretrial motions in addition to preparing all of the exhibits and trial documents. Both cases resulted in defense verdicts.
