Latest portfolio enhancements reflect Wolters Kluwer's commitment to delivering valuable insights and workflow efficiency to labor and employment law professionals
NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S. today announced the addition of new curated content and the enhancement of several tools within its Labor & Employment Law portfolio available on Cheetah™, Wolters Kluwer's acclaimed legal research platform.
The portfolio's new enhancements include four new SmartTasks and two new SmartCharts, providing practice-ready tools geared toward specific topics, including handling sexual harassment complaints, visa requirements and employment verification, and covenants not to compete. With these tools, users can access step-by-step guidance and reliable insights on highly complex labor and employment law issues, streamlining workflow and improving efficiency.
The new content available to users through Cheetah™ includes "Arbitration in the Trenches," by Arbitrator Phillip Finkelstein, J.D., providing practical monthly commentary designed to help professionals new to arbitration understand and apply key issues and concepts. Wolters Kluwer has also added "On the Labor Front" by Michael J.

New treatises, including Inside Arbitration: How an Arbitrator Decides Labor and Employment Cases by highly regarded arbitrator, Roger Abrams, J.D., Family and Medical Leave Guide, and Wage-Hour Compliance Handbook, have been added to the Labor & Employment Law library, as well.
"We are committed to listening closely to our customers to meet their evolving needs, and the recent enhancements to our Labor & Employment Law content and tools are a reflection of that ongoing commitment," said Chris Carr, Corporate Compliance Portfolio Director for Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S. "By investing in our portfolio, we are investing in the success of our customers. We are thrilled to continue to elevate our content and workflow capabilities to help our customers effectively respond to the challenges of a shifting labor and employment law landscape."
