Edgeworth Economics Partner Dr. Nathan Woods was retained by Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP in a wage-and-hour dispute between client East Penn Manufacturing and the United States Department of Labor.

Ultimately, a federal jury in Philadelphia rejected 90% of the damages and all remaining liability in this enforcement action brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by the U.S. Department of Labor.
