A Grateful Remembrance and Farewell

“The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.” – C.S. Lewis

This blog will serve as my final blog at Abrahams Wolf-Rodda. I have accepted a position with another law firm located in Washington D.C. in the Labor and Employment practice group. This is a bittersweet moment for me. I have been working at Abrahams Wolf-Rodda, writing blogs for our readers, since November of 2018 when I was beginning my second year of law school. I worked part time during that year, and full time over the summer as a summer associate until I graduated law school. After that, Dan and Howard hired me to work full time as a Junior Associate where I have worked for two years.  

Over that time, I have learned about submitting price adjustment requests to Contracting Officers and Prime Contractors alike as well as the importance of classifying Fair Labor Standards Act covered employees correctly. I have written blogs on the Independent Contractor regulations, the different Federal Acquisition Regulations related to Davis-Bacon Act price adjustments, as well as the new and old Federal Contractor Minimum Wage. These blogs have given me the chance to research and write informally about topics that will help me give effective advice to clients in the future. So not only have my blogs hopefully been helpful to the reader in navigating the Government Contracts and Wage & Hour worlds, but it has also been immensely helpful for me as a new attorney learning about different topics that were not covered in my law school classes.  

Thank you to all of the readers of my blogs in particular as well as the Abrahams Wolf-Rodda blog as a whole. Thank you also to Dan and Howard for being mentors to me and showing me the ropes. I appreciate the opportunity to write for all of you and hopefully the chance to help both businesses and individuals alike comply with the federal prevailing wage statutes. Dan and Howard will continue to write about different topics that might come up as well as continue to update old blogs when necessary. 

Thank you for reading,
