Staffing

As the use of temporary and outsourced labor increases in the national economy, Frantz Ward’s Staffing industry team helps our clients navigate the array of legal issues unique to the industry. Our clients provide temporary staffing, employee leasing, direct hire and recruiting and search solutions, and range from smaller, single office providers to national, multi-office companies that service all industries.
