Charles, who co-chairs the firm's Leaves of Absence/Reasonable Accommodation Practice Group, and Karen, who co-chairs the Workplace Violence Prevention Practice Group, review the nuances involved in securing TROs and share best practices to help prepare employers for situations where a TRO may be necessary.
