If you are new to in-house or are just looking for a quick refresher, this is your opportunity to be introduced to topics you are likely to encounter in an in-house role, and to which you may not have had much exposure in your prior roles. These “intro” programs will be presented by attorneys from Preti, Flaherty, Beliveau & Pachios, Chartered, LLP, the sponsors of the NextGen Committee.
Corporations routinely receive notices for depositions pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6). The rule, which applies even if not a party to the underlying litigation, requires the corporation to designate one or more individuals to testify on its behalf. This virtual session will further address this situation, and provide best practices to follow as well as the pitfalls to avoid.
We encourage you to bring a colleague and/or someone you know who is new to in-house. Members are also encouraged to invite non-members as this is a great learning opportunity.
Over the course of the past year, most U.S. businesses steadily ramped up their return-to-office efforts with the oft-stated goal of “returning to normal.” However, the return to the physical office has often proceeded in fits and starts, marked by the emergence of new COVID variants and other respiratory viruses, the prevalence of “long COVID,” growing numbers of employee requests for workplace accommodations based on both physical and mental health conditions, and proliferating state and local requirements. HR and leave management professionals are challenged daily to interpret and update their pre-COVID absence and accommodation practices, while courts and arbitrators are increasingly receptive to novel requests to modify the way we work.
In a nutshell, what we have “returned” to feels very different than what we left. Please join us as we review how COVID-19 has reshaped disability accommodation practices, including evolving assumptions about the reasonableness of proposed accommodations and the emerging case law in this area.

Join ACC Ontario with McCarthy Tétrault as they discuss their recent successful defence of Meta (Facebook) in the Federal Court of Canada suit brought by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. This case arose out of the Cambridge Analytica incident and is one of the most significant privacy lawsuits ever pursued in Canada. The Privacy Commissioner alleged that Meta breached Canada's federal privacy legislation by disclosing the personal information of Facebook users to third-party apps without the users' consent and by failing to safeguard that information. On April 13, the Federal Court dismissed the Privacy Commissioner’s suit, finding all allegations unproven.
Hear from our trial experts, as they share their experiences and key takeaways for consumer-facing organizations when dealing with privacy laws, third-party apps and the Privacy Commissioner.
