As some of you know, Jennifer Shaw is my partner, chief rainmaker, and employment lawyer extraordinaire, over here at Shaw Valenza. As a partner, she is not entitled to Pregnancy Disability Leave under California law. You can read about that in this article I recently wrote for the SF Daily Journal, here.
Of course, this is just my sneaky way of announcing the arrival of Baby Shaw, female, on January 21. "What's New in Employment Law?" you ask? "Jennifer's baby," I reply. See what I did there? Huh?
Please send her well wishes and presents if you're so moved. Her favorite color is pink. The baby's favorite color also is pink. (Even if it isn't, the baby doesn't read the blog.) So, go with pink.
