Join our expert panelists as they discuss adapting to counseling during this new phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, virtually all businesses have dealt with issues concerning employees telecommuting over the past year. For some, these experiences foreshadow a future where remote work is a more regular part of their operations. And for many employees, remote work is now an expectation rather than an exception. This presentation will examine legal risks and practical issues surrounding remote and “wandering” workforces in the Post-COVID “New Normal.”
Presented by Michael S. McIntosh, Office Managing Shareholder of the Tysons Office and Joshua B. Waxman, Office Managing Shareholder of the Washington DC Office of Littler, Aparna Dasai Williams, Associate General Counsel at Imperva and Kirsten Keating, Employee Relations Associate General Counsel at Freddie Mac.

We will close the meeting with an interactive Q&A session. Our program is eligible for one hour CLE credit in Ohio and Kentucky.
Lawyers with a passing familiarity of the iconic Perry Mason show of the late 1950s and 1960s may wrongly think of Perry Mason as only a master of the court room in criminal cases. But, in fact, as was typical of lawyers of his era, Perry’s practice included a far-reaching general practice. In the 1950s and 1960s television show, it is revealed that he drafted wills, trusts, as well as documents for real estate transactions and business deals, in addition to making his masterful appearances in the court room. Perry’s strength as a lawyer, in and outside the court room, stems from his unique insights into his clients, including a keen ability to understand their objectives, human needs, and failings. Moreover, Perry knew how to ask his clients the right questions—realizing that the client often does not articulate the right story. Finally, Perry knew how to retell his clients’ stories in a clear, persuasive, and powerful fashion. Willenken partners Paul Loh and Jason Wilson (who has watched early Perry Mason episodes four times) will unlock Perry’s secrets and reveal how you can use Perry’s techniques in your in-house practice every day to achieve the desired results.
With increasing government oversight of corporations under the new administration and the complex business issues arising out of the pandemic, in-house counsel and corporate leadership will need confidential legal advice from lawyers and non-legal professionals. This webinar will address:

the best means of seeking, protecting and communicating attorney-client privileged material (within U.S. companies and to cross-border affiliates.)
Our panelists will discuss how to maintain attorney-client privilege in interactions with:
in-house counsel;
business advisors;
accountants;
public relations consultants; and,
non-legal experts.
