Employment compliance is not just about avoiding lawsuits. It is about creating fair, consistent processes that protect both your business and your employees. Georgia law, combined with federal regulations, governs everything from wage and hour requirements to anti-discrimination rules. Even simple mistakes, such as misclassifying a worker as an independent contractor or failing to follow overtime laws, can result in fines, penalties, or lawsuits.

• Volunteer of the Year (2020) with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta
• Co-founder of the Soaring Owls Foundation, supporting youth education initiatives
• Vice President of the Lawyers Club of Atlanta, a leading professional legal organization
• Bar admissions in Georgia, the Supreme Court of Georgia, and the U.S. District Courts
• International experience from his time as in-house counsel

Glenn works with employers to design hiring practices, employee handbooks, and workplace policies that are both tailored to their operations and legally sound. He provides guidance on performance management, accommodations, leave policies, and terminations, making sure employers meet their obligations while keeping business goals in focus. When disputes arise, Glenn helps companies respond effectively, reducing risk and protecting their reputation.

Employment law is constantly evolving, and Atlanta businesses need practical advice to stay ahead. With Glenn Lyon’s support, business owners gain clarity and confidence in managing their workforce, knowing their practices are built on a solid legal foundation.
