Christopher M. Sweeney, Senior Associate in the firm’s Washington, DC office, authored an article in the ConsensusDocs Newsletter, August 2018, Volume 4, Issue 4, titled “Not My Payroll, Not My Problem?

Mr. Sweeney explains that new laws in California and Maryland require general contractors be liable for employee salary and benefits for individuals who are not their employees, and even employees of companies they did not contract with.
