Harwood Feffer LLP Announces Investigation of Barrett Business Services, Inc.

Nov 6, 2014

NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Barrett Business Services, Inc. ("Barrett" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BBSI), concerning whether the board has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders.

On September 16, 2014, an analyst report was published stating that the Company could be required to recognize a significant charge to increase its loss reserves. On October 28, 2014, Barrett reported a net loss of $37.8 million for the third quarter of 2014 caused by an $80 million pretax increase in workers' compensation reserves, erasing Barrett's past five years of pretax earnings.

Our investigation concerns whether the Company board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.
