As we all strive to excel in our careers, mentorship can add a level of enjoyment and meaning to balance the more challenging aspects of the practice of law. Mentorship in the in-house sphere can be especially helpful to build relationships, navigate dealing with company politics and developing professionally.
Please join the Practice and Career Management (P&CM) Committee for a discussion with experienced and passionate mentors and mentees. Hear about how mentoring has helped their careers, what they have learned from their interactions, the mentoring programs they have established and their thoughts on how best to develop useful mentoring relationships.
The program will be followed by a networking reception. ACC Northeast's P&CM Committee would like to thank PTC for generously hosting us for this event.

The federal Department of Labor has stated that it intends to propose, in October 2022, increases to the minimum weekly salary an employee must receive to be exempt under the FLSA’s white-collar exemptions. Currently, the minimum salary for most white collar positions under the FLSA is $684 per week. Gradual and ongoing increases are all on the table. As employers move toward year end, budget and other operational considerations should be weighed in anticipation of these potential changes. This webinar will cover how these potential changes may impact your operations, including options for converting exempt to nonexempt employees and the additional impact of time-keeping requirements.
