Carolyn Richmond was among the panelists Bisnow's NYC Restaurant Development Summit. At the panel, she explains that of the 18 suits filed in Downtown's US District Court the morning of Bisnow's event, 12 involved the Americans with Disabilities Act and two focused on wage and hour issues; almost all were against restaurants.

Richmond co-chairs Fox Rothschild's labor and employment and its hospitality practice groups.
