2026 Employment Law Update

Join Keith Weddington and Lucy Anderson of Parker Poe for our regular annual update on Employment Law and an overview of the current legal challenges facing employers. 

The latter half of 2025 and the first half of 2026 have continued to bring significant changes for employers. Key judicial opinions from the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and North Carolina appellate courts have helped shift the employment landscape. The topics addressed by these courts include potential exemptions from the Federal Arbitration Act, issues of causation in retaliation cases, remote work as an (unreasonable) accommodation, the lawfulness of contractually shortened statutes of limitations for federal discrimination claims, religious accommodations and much more.  

In addition to updates on recent court decisions, this program will also address the ever-changing landscape of executive orders, regulations, and enforcement priorities at the federal agency level, including the EEOC, the NLRB, the Department of Labor and OSHA.  Learn how these changes will impact private employers and their workforces. 

All registration links are located in our weekly email.
