More and more today’s lawyers do two things terribly wrong. They fail to account for and try to co-opt the strengths of their opponent’s case, believing their evidence will simply overwhelm the other side’s. Second, they do not tailor their trial presentation for the way juries’ think, which is in terms of gut justice and finding the ‘true story’ of what really happened. Instead, today’s lawyers think of trial like a debate where each side tries to ‘score points’ and the side with the most points wins. This is not how juries think. These two mistakes can spell catastrophe at trial. This CLE identifies red flags for in-house counsel to look out for that show their outside counsel are going down the wrong path in preparing the case for trial and how to achieve a course correction.

You are invited to attend our June CLE luncheon- in-person at Paesanos Lincoln Heights or via Zoom.

As focus shifts away from COVID-19, companies now confront a changed legal landscape under the employee-friendly Biden Administration with a noted uptick in the aggressiveness of various federal agencies.  The NLRB, EEOC, and DOL announced their intention to team up in combatting retaliation against employees, while the DOJ and FTC are targeting restrictive covenants, wage theft and misclassification cases. In addition to reviewing agency developments, Ogletree attorneys Larry Smith and Tiffany Cox Stacy will provide an update on key employment law developments both at the federal and state level, including issues of sexual harassment, arbitration agreements, and pay equity/transparency, as well as on recent court decisions.

Please feel free to pass this invitation on to other individuals within in your organization who would like to learn more about this subject! 

 

ACC Houston June Chapter Meeting CLE
The New Era of ESG-Related Litigation and Enforcement Risks
June 14, 2022 | 11:30 am - 1:00 pm | Maggiano's

The last few years have seen a sea of change in shareholder and enforcement agency expectations around corporate engagement in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues. Now, private shareholders and public enforcement agencies are bringing ever-more-expansive actions alleging corporate failures to oversee ESG responsibilities or to disclose ESG-related failures. Join us for a discussion on the implications of this new era of ESG-related litigation and enforcement risks.

ACC Houston Environmental Law Practice Group CLE
Handling an OSHA Inspection and Defense of Citations
June 23, 2022 | 11:30 am - 1:00 pm | Ouisie's Table

An OSHA inspection can disrupt facility operations and lead to potential liability for the company. Good preparation can minimize both risks. Our speakers will outline what employers should do to be prepared; explain what to expect during an inspection; and walk through each of the stages of the enforcement process. This presentation will provide practical tips for each of those stages.

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s annual Corporate Equality Index is the national benchmarking tool on corporate policies and practices pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) employees.

From 2002 to today, America’s largest and most successful businesses have moved to implement inclusive workplace policies, practices and benefits to best attract, retain and engage LGBTQ talent and to access the lucrative LGBTQ marketplace.

This session builds the robust business case for inclusion while tracing the history and impact of the CEI.
