[quote=Anonymous]Many of the comments assume that a law firm partner does not have the protections of the FMLA and other federal and state EEO laws. That may not necessarily be the case. The EEOC has litigated this issue with Sidley and Austin and other firms on age discrimination issues. I would encourage you to look at those discussions, whether on the EEOC website, the cases, or via a Google search. Many law firms are professional corporations. In that case, the shareholders are employees. The courts have dealt with this issue. The SCT had a case on shareholders-owners of a medical group. It is instructive in this regard. Fyi, I have been both an equity partner and a equity shareholder in law firms and practice employment law. Findlaw also has an article on this issue for legal professionals.[/quote]
