Meet the Lawyer Who Says 5% of Employees Cause 95% of Your Problems
If you’ve ever wondered why the same few employees keep you up at night, Todd Stanton has the answer — and it might just change the way you manage your workplace.
Join me for a live Zoom conversation with Todd Stanton, founder of Stanton Law and author of The 95% Rule: 29 Employment Law Axioms for Owners, Execs, and HR (now available).
We’ll talk about his philosophy that a small percentage of employees cause the vast majority of workplace chaos, how to focus on the 95% who make your business thrive, and what employers can do to build calmer, smarter, more compliant workplaces.

Who Is Todd Stanton?
Todd is a recovering Big Law attorney turned straight-talking employment lawyer.
He built Stanton Law, an Atlanta-based boutique that helps employers make faster, clearer decisions without drowning in legalese.
He’s known for irreverent humor, practical wisdom, and a style that trades “FLSA PowerPoints” for plain-English truths — like:
“5% of employees cause 95% of HR problems.”
“All your HR documents will be evidence.”
“No good employer deed goes unpunished.”
With The 95% Rule now out in the world, Todd has distilled decades of experience, Stoic philosophy, and real-world stories into 29 axioms that cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters.
What We’ll Cover
During our conversation, we’ll dig into:
- 💡 The 95% Rule – what it means, how to identify your “5%ers,” and why protecting the 95% should be your focus
- ⚖️ Todd’s employment law axioms – practical lessons from the trenches of advising employers
- 🧘 Mindset over mayhem – how leader philosophy, perspective, and emotional discipline matter in legal risk
- 💬 Real-world stories – hard-earned wisdom about bad hires, messy terminations, and what works in the real world
Whether you’re an HR pro, in-house counsel, or business leader, this session will help you see employment law with more clarity, confidence, and calm.
Why You Should Attend
If you’ve ever thought:
- “Why does one employee cause 90% of my stress?”
- “Can’t someone just explain this law in plain English?”
- “I want fewer headaches and fewer surprise legal bills.”
…then you’ll love this conversation.
Todd’s message is simple: stop trying to fix the unfixable — and start leading the 95% who make your business work.
