Baltimore, MD labor & employment lawyer Craig F. Ballew talks about the most rewarding aspect of his practice area. He finds the most rewarding aspect of his work is helping clients address risk management. Early on in labor and employment law, he recognized that his role is to help organizations manage their risk—guiding them to make decisions that either increase or decrease the likelihood of charges, lawsuits, or other disputes.

His approach goes beyond simply advising on what a client can do; he emphasizes what they should or should not do. This requires time, experience, and a deep understanding of the full spectrum of labor and employment law. While many see the field as narrow, he understands that it has as many facets as there are keys on a piano, and appreciating how those elements interrelate is essential to providing sound, practical advice.
