High-Net-Worth Household Employers
For high-net-worth individuals, executives, and professionals, the complexity of managing a household or private staff—such as a house manager, nannies, personal security, and chauffeurs —introduces unique and high-stakes employment liabilities. You’re welcoming employees into your home. You are exposing them to your family, travels, and private life. Without proper legal protections, your privacy, assets, and reputation are vulnerable to risks from wage-and-hour lawsuits, confidentiality breaches, safety and security concerns, and other potential threats. Dallas employment lawyer Barry Hersh assists with the legal fortification necessary to manage these risks with absolute discretion and expertise.
