What You Would Want to Know From the Other Side

About the Program: 

As an attorney who only represents employees - and primarily represents employees on a contingency-fee basis - Kelsey is going to share what she looks for when evaluating a potential new case. The program will provide an overview of what you can do or can avoid as a Human Resources professional that would help avoid litigation. Kelsey will also provide some information about how quality Human Resources professionals add value to your organizations.

Speaker: Kelsey A. W. Marquard

Kelsey Marquard is passionate about ensuring working men and women have a voice. She understands victims of discrimination or other workplace injustices are often at their most vulnerable when they seek legal advice. That vulnerability can be the same regardless of the client’s individual situation, including whether the client is a victim of discrimination, has not been getting paid, has not been paid overtime, or needs to negotiate a severance agreement. Kelsey primarily represents employees who need to take action against a current or former employer.

Kelsey grew up in a blue-collar family in small town in southeast Iowa. Proud of working to put herself through college and law school, Kelsey graduated summa cum laude from St. Ambrose University and with honors from the University of Iowa College of Law. Kelsey practiced litigation in the Quad Cities before becoming a partner at O’Brien & Marquard, P.L.C.
