Caroline Hurtado: “The attorney acting as a claims adjuster is just performing a business function, not a legal function, and there’s no privilege for business decisions.” Illustration by Viktor Koen.
Attorney-adjusters are more likely to be found in more complex commercial corners of the insurance business, handling claims under professional liability policies such as directors’ and officers’ insurance or professional malpractice coverage.
Sampen says courts will look to determine whether an adverse relationship had developed between the insurer and insured at the time of the communication or document in question. Under this analysis, documents prepared and conversations that took place before a coverage decision was made are unlikely to be privileged.
It’s a different story when the adjuster has a law degree. Insurers argue that the conversations and documents of such an adjuster are shielded from discovery by the attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine.
Clearly, the first step in retaining a new employee is to hire the right person. Although this might seem to be a no brainer, it can often be taken for granted. In the past, employees would start and end their career with one employer. Today, this is rare. It is not just the millennial employees who change jobs frequently.
After you have found and hired the right person, it is important to train and onboard your new hire during the first 90 days. This goes beyond a welcome email blast to all members of the firm announcing the new hire, or even hosting a breakfast/lunch meeting to introduce the person.
To retain your new employee, you need to beware of what employees are looking for when they change jobs. Assuming you do not overwork or take advantage of your staff members, one main reason why employees leave their current position is for an opportunity to gain more and/or different types of experience or training.
Forget the annual performance review. Annual reviews are stressful and requires both the manager and employee to recall events and details on good and bad job performance events. Instead focus on providing consistent and constructive feedback on a regular basis.
Good employees quit when they work for an uncaring boss. No one wants to spend every day working hard for someone who is cold and impersonal. This goes beyond a simple ‘how is your day’ before unleashing a series of demands and assignments. Showing genuine concern about your staff’s health and well-being is important.
Don't let the ABA therapist be surprised when they begin working for you. If you expect them to stay 30 minutes after each session to go over notes and data with you, tell them that upfront. - Parents often have the misconception that an ABA therapist is an all-in-one job title.....it's not.

In no way am I saying families should lower their expectations when hiring ABA staff. If you want an ABA therapist with 5 years experience and a degree, then stick to what you want.
If you can't observe actual interaction, let the therapist view video clips of your child. Even experienced therapists may not be comfortable with ALL behaviors. It is important that any potential therapist be comfortable working with your child on their best and worst days. Be honest during the interview.
If your child receives ABA services at school or through an agency then you typically don't get much say in who will be assigned to your child's treatment team. However, even if you are dealing with a school or agency you can still ask to meet the team and inquire about their background before they start working.
Most ABA therapists are only qualified to implement programs and run a session with your child. They may not be qualified to write programs, do assessments, or train teachers. I talk to so many parents who hire an ABA therapist and quickly realize the person has a limited skill set.
