Remote work presents numerous employment challenges relating to such things as employee productivity, privacy of both employers’ and clients’/customers’ data, cybersecurity, time-keeping, and compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act. During COVID-19 and beyond, employers will have to balance these concerns together with those relating to reintroducing employees to the workplace. This session will present perspectives on both sides of the equation, and provide employers tools to use in finding the right balance between remote and on-site work.

Time element losses often go hand-in-hand with significant physical loss or damage events.  Time element losses also can result from novel events such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.  Regardless of the predicate physical loss or damage event, however, planning for and quantifying time element losses can be varied and challenging.  This is especially true when claims involve multiple components of covered loss, such as interruption of the insured’s own operations due to physical loss or damage; interruption to the normal operations of the insured’s suppliers or customers; interruption due to orders from civil authorities and interruptions due to an inability to ingress or egress from the insured premises.  

This program will address the time element losses that are likely to arise from novel loss events like the COVID-19 pandemic and other loss events affecting multiple aspects of insured operations.  Our panel will address the coverage and loss valuation issues based on policy wording, their experience with pending COVID-19 claims and their experience with other broad-scale loss events like the 9/11 terrorist attacks, where companies were forced to file suit to recover multi-faceted time element losses under a variety of physical loss or damage scenarios.

Presented by Michael S. Levine, Partner at Hunton Andrews Kurth, LLP, John DiCalogero, Asst. General Counsel at HMSHost and Steven Wolf, Principal at Wolf Forensics.

Moderated by Latosha Ellis, Associate at Hunton Andrews Kurth, LLP.

1.0  hours of VA MCLE credit pending.

We all have implicit biases.  Biases don’t make us bad people.  When biases are left unchecked, they can result in poor decision-making, lead to disparate treatment and work at cross purposes with our personal, professional or business goals. 

Rooting out biases in ourselves and each other is therefore essential to our work as lawyers – so essential that the American Bar Association Litigation Section has created an Implicit Bias Toolkit to help identify and combat the prejudices and biases that are endemic to our profession and the justice system more broadly. 

Join us for an interactive discussion, based on the ABA’s work, to identify common, everyday implicit biases and how to deploy tactics to “de-bias” ourselves and our environments.

Presented by Buffy Mims and John Lewis, Jr., Partners with Shook Hardy and Bacon and Co-Chairs of the Firm’s Diversity Initiatives and LaTanya Langley, VP and General Counsel of BIC.

No MCLE credit for this program, for informational purposes only.
