TAHC&H Faculty/Presenter: Kimberly R. Stuart, JD, Shareholder, Crain Caton & James
About the Presenter:
Kimberly R. Stuart practices appellate law, commercial litigation, and employment and labor law.
As the oldest of her generation in a very large Italian family from Brooklyn (who got to Texas as quickly as she could), Kimberly learned early that to be heard,
you have to get into the action, make your point quickly, and be ready to defend it. Kimberly puts this experience to use in her practice by dealing with her clients
openly and frankly. Kimberly’s representative employment law experience includes successfully defending employers in FLSA wage actions and Title VII litigation.
An important part of Kimberly’s practice is helping her clients avoid litigation altogether through reviewing contracts, conducting self-audits to ensure regulatory
compliance, and assisting clients with best practices training and compliance. In her employment practice outside the courtroom, Kimberly handles all varieties of
employment disputes, including claims of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wrongful termination, breach of contract, and employment-related torts.
She drafts, evaluates, and updates personnel handbooks, workplace policies, employment contracts, and severance agreements. Kimberly has defended numerous clients
in matters before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Texas Workforce Commission, and the Department of Labor, as well as other state and federal agencies,
resulting in dismissals.
