Samantha focuses on labor and employment matters. Samantha’s passion for labor and employment law emerged during her legal studies, where she took every employment-related class available. Her interest is driven by the field’s universal relevance: everyone has experience as an employee, making it a field with challenges every business faces. She provides both preventative counsel and litigation defense and has a particular interest in the unique issues faced by educational institutions.

On May 9, 2024, the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) published a Final Rule (“the Rule”) updating Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (“Section 504”) regulations. As part of the Rule, every facility, program, or activity with 15 or more employees and receiving HHS funding will need to comply with new digital accessibility guidelines by May 11, 2026. Those with fewer than 15 employees will need to comply by May 10, 2027.
