Partners Ashley Lynam and Jacob Sand, with associate Tamara Adams, co-authored a Law360 Expert Analysis discussing a controversial new provision of the Restatement of the Law Third, Torts, from the American Law Institute that expands employer liability for sexual assaults committed by employees against vulnerable individuals. If adopted by the courts, the special rule “would expand risk and exposure for employers across a host of industries.”
The authors outline the industries that are most at risk and offer guidance for employers on risk management, training, and insurance to mitigate exposure.
