  • Preston v. Cervus Equipment Corporation and Bertsch vs. Datastealth Inc. with Matthew Fisher and Matthew Certosimo

    Preston v. Cervus Equipment Corporation and Bertsch vs. Datastealth Inc. with Matthew Fisher and Matthew Certosimo
    Apr 23 2025

    "We have put all this work in and none of it will matter if the decimal is in the wrong place, or the release has two extra words we didn't notice." Matthew Fisher and Matthew Certosimo join Chris Robertson and Sarah Goodenough to discuss Preston v. Cervus Equipment Corporation and Bertsch v. Datastealth Inc. The common theme in these two cases is that employment law is not as unfair to employers as it is often alleged. It is, rather, a heavily technical process for both sides. Both these cases show that the devil is truly in the details.

    Dufault v. Township of Ignace with Barry Fisher and Stuart Rudner
    Feb 13 2025

    Stuart Rudner and Barry Fisher join Chris Robertson and Sarah Goodenough to discuss Dufault v. The Township of Ignace. They discuss how the termination provision was struck not only for violating Waksdale but went further identifying new attacks on termination provisions including "at any time", a phrase that is as ubiquitous as "without cause" in employment agreements. They explore the challenges faced by both employees and employers, the complexities of legal language in contracts, and the need for clearer guidelines in employment agreements.
