The panel will also review the latest legal developments in this fast-moving area and what they mean in terms of how to represent your company.

The panelists will offer practical insights into environmental terminology, due diligence and negotiating strategies that will help avoid costly expenditures.

The company's subsidiary is being sold to a competitor. The CEO's daughter wants to buy a house. An employee confesses an inappropriate activity to you. Conflict can be tough to avoid for in-house counsel.

Under the Obama administration, companies should expect to see a shift in OSHA's emphasis toward greater standards enforcement and away from voluntary partnerships. Employers should prepare for the agency to focus on OSHA recordkeeping, new safety and health standards, a Federal ergonomics standard, and ongoing Congressional debate to the OSH Act. This session will also address actions that in-house counsel can take today to remain on top of the changes and assure compliance.
