On March 27th, 2009, we have a special speaker to discuss the recent changes in FMLA and ADA that affect many businesses. We have asked Matthew Stiles with Lehr, Middlebrooks, and Vreeland to discuss some of the ramifications of the changes as well as ways employers can ensure they are compliant with the new regulations.

 

We have had the pleasure of listening to Matt's presentations on various Employment Law topics and he has not only a great delivery, but always makes it fun with some of his experiences. Matt Stiles, a shareholder in his firm, represents employers in all facets of the employment relationship, with an emphasis in employment litigation, labor relations, employee benefits and executive compensation, employment tax, trade secrets and restrictive covenants, affirmative action and OFCCP compliance.

 

Prior to returning to the firm in 2007, Matt served as Associate General Counsel for Regions Financial Corporation, a Fortune 500 bank holding company, where his chief responsibilities were labor and employment matters, nationwide.

 

Matt was recently named to the Birmingham Business Journal's "Best of the Bar" for his work in executive compensation and benefits. The Birmingham Business Journal also named Matt to its "Top 40 Under 40″ list for 2008.

 

Matt received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of the South and his Juris Doctorate from The University of Alabama School of Law where he served as an editor of the Alabama Law Review and as a member of the Phillip C. Jessup International Moot Court Team. During law school, Matt was also a law clerk to The University of Alabama Office of Counsel where his duties included defense of litigation and NCAA compliance. Matt is an adjunct professor of law at The University of Alabama School of Law and a frequent presenter and published writer on employment-related business issues.
