Post-Pandemic Remote Work: A Productivity Boom or a Collaboration Destroyer? The Advantages and Pitfalls of Remote, Hybrid, and In-Person Models

In this interactive discussion, we will examine whether the conventional wisdom – that employees are more productive but less collaborative when working remotely – has proven to be true. Join attorneys from Littler’s South Carolina office to engage in a meaningful conversation regarding trends in post-pandemic workforces, and both the advantages and pitfalls of remote, hybrid, and in-person models. As companies continue to implement strategies for transitioning back to in-person work environments, we will explore the legal challenges that can arise, and how to effectively keep your workforce engaged and productive.

Schedule:

• 3:30 to 4:00 pm – Registration

• 4:00 to 5:00 pm – CLE program

• 5:00 to 6:00 pm – Networking & Cocktail Reception

Speakers: Bill Foster, Katie Towery, & Ben Hepner of Littler and Lauren Satterfield, Deputy General Counsel of Delta Apparel

In recent years, 75% of Fortune 500 companies were plaintiffs in recovery matters. Many large companies have developed affirmative recovery programs and have dedicated resources in legal and procurement to recoup the value of affirmative opportunities. As in-house counsel and legal departments seek to bring added value in the current corporate environment, a mature and comprehensive program can generate multiple significant recoveries annually. But, as in-house counsel and departments are already stretched, how do you navigate the dynamic world of affirmative recovery to start or grow a program?

Join our panelists for a 1-hour presentation that will provide practical guidance on establishing your program, including ways to build on existing and ongoing efforts. We will cover specific opportunities that are timely in 2022, and those that are likely to develop given enforcement priorities and the global environment. The material will also provide steps needed to partner with corporate business teams in order to maximize value from each opportunity and the program overall, in ways that align business and legal goals.

Session I – 40 Years of Fun: A Conversation with the Phillie Phanatic

He’s been called “crazy,” “beloved,” a “fan favorite,” and even “the most sued mascot in sports.” But one thing the Phillie Phanatic has never been called is boring. This program will feature a conversation with the performer who brings the Phanatic to life night after night: Tom Burgoyne! Tom will share stories and lessons from decades as a professional mascot. In addition, Duane Morris attorneys Christi Campbell and Tyler Marandola will join the conversation to provide informative background and analysis of a recent copyright lawsuit involving the Phanatic, and other legal issues that face lawyers (and occasionally mascots) of all stripes.

Session II – Sports Betting, Online Casinos, and E-Sports: What You Need to Know About this Booming Business

The states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware are three of the most progressive in the area of gambling expansion. This panel will provide an up-to-date summary of the latest developments in sports wagering, online casino gambling, and e-sports. Learn who is involved, who is profiting, how it is regulated, and what is in store for the future. Panelist Stephen D. Schrier is a Partner and Co-chair of Blank Rome’s Gaming and Sports Practice.
