We live in an age of specialization. This includes the legal profession. It is now harder than ever to dabble in all types of litigation. This is especially true in the employment area.

Bean interviewed and hired Plaintiff, and assigned him to work under Steve Stray, who handles the audit work for the firm’s largest client. The client provides so much work that Stray and Plaintiff maintain an office at the client’s headquarters.
