Terese Connolly and Mishell Kneeland in Law360: Fight for Equal Pay Continues 10 Years after Ledbetter Act

Our partners Terese Connolly of Chicago and Mishell Kneeland of Austin recently co-authored an article for Law360 that provides an update on the fight for equal pay ten years after passage of the Ledbetter Act in 2009.

Instead, the law has resulted in a patchwork of legislation at the state and local levels, which has served to muddy the waters for multistate employers.
