Understanding Liability Insurance: Risk Management in a High-Risk Environment

Description:

 When risk is managed poorly, business suffers and people lose jobs.  When it’s managed effectively, saving capital and earnings, people get promoted.  Corporate counsel is in a unique position to quarterback the risk management process through careful selection and deployment of insurance.  This presentation will help corporate counsel understand what kinds of insurance mitigate third party risks, learn how to communicate with brokers and carriers to maximize insurance assets, and explain risk and insurance to senior management and the Board.

Agenda:

1:00 - 2:00 PM CST CLE Program

Big Changes to Minnesota’s Employment Laws: Hot Topics and Trends to Watch

It was a busy year for the Minnesota legislature! The legislature passed sweeping laws that have a significant impact on Minnesota employers in a variety of ways. Among other things, this legislative session created state-wide paid sick and safe time obligations, rendered non-compete agreements in Minnesota unenforceable, created additional paystub requirements, and increased protections for pregnant workers. If you need guidance for how to navigate these sweeping changes, or if you’re simply hoping to be sure you haven’t missed anything, join us! Littler attorneys Claire Deason and Emily McNee will provide guidance on how employers should prepare for compliance with these new laws as well as trends to watch into 2024.

AGENDA
