Texas executive employment lawyer Joe Ahmad of the law firm Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Anaipakos, PC, says that while companies may hope to maintain continuity during natural disasters and political revolutions, it’s best to make employee safety a top priority. “From a legal perspective, you have a duty to exercise reasonable care when it comes to your employees. If you’re putting your employees in harm’s way, you can have some problems with American laws and, in some situations, you can have some problems with foreign laws.” Ahmad recommends that executives focus on employee welfare over business continuity in situations like the Japan earthquake because employees will appreciate that they’re not being placed at risk. Ahmad practices law at Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Anaipakos, PC, a Houston-based trial firm. AZA’s five partners have collectively tried more than 150 cases to verdict.
