Mike Maslanka
Michael P. Maslanka believes that his role is twofold: to help clients manage the situation before the situation manages them and to make matters as simple and user-friendly as possible for them. He brings 28 years of experience to these dual goals, including being the lead trial attorney in claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII, and Texas noncompete law. Chambers USA states that he is a "strong, insightful thinker" and takes a "holistic approach" to resolving his client's challenges.

Tough stuff...this combines ethics,the law,and intracorporate politics...first,there have been a spate of nasty cases here in texas that have found fraud in these circumstances---the issue is whether the company had any idea when you extended the of…

i agree and would go even further...if the gift givers could benefit dollar wise from the outcome of research being done then a no gift policy(which i understand might cause an outcry)should be considered...this is especially so because academic res…
