Get In Early: Dear Employment Counsel

My partner just launched an employment law newsletter on LinkedIn, and I’m plugging it here for free, which tells you either how much I believe in him or how bad I am at negotiating.

His name is Matthew Korn, and the newsletter is Dear Employment Counsel. I’m recommending it before it’s actually proven itself, on the theory that I’ve watched him write and practice law long enough to know it’s going to be good.

The first issue is really just the setup: here’s the format, here’s why he’s doing it, here’s what’s coming. Not much meat yet. That’s fine, it’s issue one. But the format itself is the promising part: real workplace letters (a RIF nobody wants to explain to the CFO, a termination gone wrong, a policy that’s been quietly stale for years) answered plainly, no legalese.

Matt’s a sharp employment lawyer and a genuinely good writer, which is a rarer combination than it should be, so I expect the substance to show up fast once the letters start.

He’s also a dad of four, so he’s mastered saying something important in the ten seconds before someone starts crying. As a father of four myself, I can relate.

I also judge people with five.

Subscribing now so I can later pretend I found it early: Dear Employment Counsel.
