Henderson Franklin Celebrates 20 Years of Providing Legal Education for Employers

Fort Myers, FL, March 31, 2012 --(PR.com)-- On March 27, 2012, dressed in tuxedos and evening gowns, Henderson Franklin's Employment Law Practice Group celebrated the 20th Anniversary of its annual employment law seminar, HR Law & Solutions, at Sanibel Harbour Resort with record-breaking attendance. Over 300 attendees heard presentations on a variety of law topics, including retaliation, workers' compensation, and immigration, and tested their skills in a lively game of "Employment Law Jeopardy.”

Four guests were inducted into Henderson Franklin’s Hall of Fame: Frank Shore from Public Risk Management, Pam Fairfax, Donnie Laubheimer and Chief Bill Lombardo from South Trail Fire Department. The Hall of Fame recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the human resource profession in Southwest Florida, and who have been long-time attendees of the seminar.

The day was capped off with a special surprise celebration, when Norman Love of Norman Love Confections arrived to present a giant, multi-level chocolate cake. The entire cake -- even the law books and gavel -- was edible. Attendees enjoyed the delicious cake along with a champagne toast.

John Potanovic, chair of the seminar and of Henderson Franklin’s Employment Law Practice Group stated, “When I launched this seminar 20 years ago to about 60 attendees, I never imagined it would blossom into an event of this magnitude. We are honored that so many loyal clients, professionals, and friends of the firm look forward to our annual event, and I am enormously proud of the product my talented colleagues put forth each year. We have actually already begun planning for 2013!”
