CDF Partner Dan M. Forman quoted in the recent Corporate Counsel article on "For Legal Departments, Shifting Vaccine Policies in 2021 Were a 'Huge Roller Coaster."
Excerpt: "When the vaccines first came, there was a lot of excitement,” recalled Dan Forman, office managing partner at the Los Angeles office of CDF Labor Law LLP.
