Expert legal voices Amy Epstein Gluck, Esq., founding partner at Pierson Ferdinand LLP, and SHRM’s Allen Smith, J.D., share best practices in applying the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) across the full employee life cycle, from recruitment to post-employment. Starting with their own personal experiences with managing a disability, they join host Monique Akanbi to tackle real HR dilemmas in compliance, accommodation requests, performance management, and more — including answering top ADA questions straight from SHRM's HR Knowledge Center.
Amy Epstein Gluck partners with organizations to arrive at sustainable policies to alleviate and prevent workplace problems and solve complex workplace challenges, including hybrid work and fostering inclusive workplaces; and she handles workplace investigations and wage and hour audits. A zealous advocate, Ms. Epstein Gluck defends organizations in employment cases, securing victories and settlements efficiently in discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage and hour claims. She handles workplace compliance and defense of Title VII, ADA, FMLA, and ADEA claims as well as misclassification issues and all matters involving people.
Ms. Epstein Gluck is a business employment lawyer. For decades, she has advised clients about their use of noncompete, nonsolicitation, and nondisclosure agreements to protect client confidential information. Amy drafts employment agreements; handles employment negotiations, severance agreements, noncompete and nondisclosure agreements, discrimination, and harassment investigations, “wrongful terminations,” and other employment matters. Ms. Epstein Gluck passionately litigates these matters in state and federal court.
Allen Smith, J.D., writes and edits articles for SHRM on employment laws and trends, including major federal acts like the ADA, FLSA, FMLA, and Title VII, as well as state and local laws. He covers significant Supreme Court decisions impacting HR, edits Court Report articles on federal appellate and California Court of Appeal rulings, and addresses global HR issues. He also oversees the Legal Trends column for HR Quarterly.
Allen's work ensures that HR professionals are informed about critical legal developments and compliance requirements.
