NEW YORK, May 2, 2016 -- Sedgwick LLP is pleased to announce that Michael Yim has joined the firm as a partner in its New York office. Yim concentrates his practice in non-compete/trade secret, wage and hour, and cross-border executive mobility and compensation.
With more than 10 years' experience in labor and employment law, Yim has repeatedly been recognized as a "Rising Star" and has successfully represented and counseled clients in a variety of employment-related matters throughout the country and abroad, including wage and hour class actions.
His experience includes defeating two consecutive applications for a temporary restraining order on behalf of a California modeling agency client in a non-compete dispute, counseling a Europe-based fine arts company in an executive relocation and reduction in force issues, and litigating wage and hour class actions on behalf of high profile restauranteurs.
