Hohn, a member of the firm’s litigation practice, presented a program on discipline in the workplace for Howalt+McDowell Insurance’s Howalt University. His presentation for employers adressed how to investigate and document performance and misconduct issues and how to properly handle the discipline process based upon the legal ramifications of an employer’s actions. His session provided tips to ensure a process that both complies with the law and serves to best prepare the employer for possible legal action by the employee.

A Davenport Evans attorney since 2008, Hohn’s practice includes a wide variety of litigation, with a focus on representing employers in cases of harassment or discrimination. His practice also includes assisting employers with audits and investigations conducted by federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Labor and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
