Partner Gordon Katz,
whose practice includes hospitality litigation, is quoted in this article about
Massachusetts restaurants facing litigation as a result of the state's revised
tip-sharing regulations. Katz believes the Supreme Judicial Court's ruling has
led to a large number of new claims by terminated employees against their
employers. He recommends that employers seek to prevent claims about
wage-and-hour practices by establishing internal procedures.
