Russell N. Jarem is Of Counsel in the Hartford, Connecticut, office of Jackson Lewis P.C. His practice focuses on representing employers in workplace law matters, including preventive advice and counseling. He regularly advises and represents employers in a broad range of employment law matters, including litigation under state and federal anti-discrimination statutes in a variety of forums, including state and federal courts, the Department of Labor, the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, and the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission.

Since the declaration of the COVID-19 public health emergency, Mr. Jarem has been regularly advising employers in Connecticut regarding the various restrictions and limitations on operations imposed by the State under the Executive Orders issued by the Governor and the guidelines issued by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, as well as the considerations that employers must make regarding their employees, whether they are essential businesses seeking to expand their workforce or “nonessential” businesses considering reopening for the first time.
