About Tim

Timothy Eavenson is an attorney helping businesses and businesspeople with the legal aspects of their workplace. He counsels employers on discrimination, wage and hour and other HR-related issues, and represents businesses in employment disputes and litigation. While he’s worked with clients from 2-man plumbing shops to Fortune 500 conglomerates, Tim’s focus is on the HR needs of small businesses, an often overlooked community in the labor & employment field. He also helps sole proprietors, contractors and freelancers with legal issues related to their work.

Tim started Current Employment while in law school, as a way of staying up on changes in labor & employment law and as a break from studying.  Now that he’s practicing, Tim uses CE to make sense out of developments in workplace law without the jargon or legalese.

Tim is interested in the future of working in America - how the changing workforce is affecting national employment and civil rights policy, HR best practices, the needs of entrepreneurs and freelancers, and the work of labor and employment lawyers. He regularly conducts seminars and training sessions on these issues for companies, business organizations and legal groups.

Tim lives just outside Chicago with his wife, son, daughter and tiny, tiny dog – all of whom are smarter and more attractive than him.
