The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the American workforce in various ways, including the challenges employers now face in their efforts to hire and retain talented employees. “The Great Resignation” describes the status of the workforce where over 30 million American workers resigning from their jobs from Spring 2021 to November 2021. This seismic shift has caused employers to rethink traditional methods for recruiting and retaining employees as compensation is rising and employers and employees address the fallout of the ongoing pandemic. 

Not only has COVID-19 changed the recruiting process, but federal, state, and local governments have also imposed new compliance obligations on the recruiting and onboarding processes in the name of advancing racial and pay equity.  This leaves in-house counsel with a critical role to ensure that their firms obtain the next generation of talent, in a way that avoid legal risk from missteps in this unprecedented environment.

Executive Order 14042 (the Covid-19 vaccine mandate for Federal contractors) has been a wild ride. First, there was the President’s speech hinting at a vaccination mandate for federal contractors. That was followed quickly by an EO alluding to forthcoming Guidance and contract clauses. Then a clause appeared with a “dynamic” self-updating twist, and a December compliance deadline (which then was changed to a January 4th deadline, and then was clarified to be a January 18th deadline). A court in Kentucky quickly enjoined enforcement of the EO – but only in three states. A court in Georgia followed by enjoining the EO nationwide. Now appeals are pending in various circuit courts. Feeling a little whiplash?  Join the club. 

Our panelists will provide up to the minute status of the enforceability of EO 14042 and the pending (and by March, maybe decided) legal challenges to the EO. Also, they will provide best practices for Federal contractors struggling to comply with the various vaccination/masking requirements in place across the county (whether the Federal EO is being enforced or not).

Join us as we unpack one of the most significant and complex years on record. As industries around the world adjusted for life in COVID-19 conditions, 2021 saw challenges arise in some new and surprising ways. With an eye toward what data privacy and security compliance will look like in 2022, we will analyze noteworthy updates from federal agencies such as:

  • The SEC and FTC, state laws in Virginia and Colorado taking shape alongside the CCPA;
  • New developments in CCPA litigation and regulatory privacy enforcement;
  • What companies can expect from the Biden administration;
  • The latest international privacy updates; and
  • The latest developments around emerging technologies like biometrics and artificial intelligence.

We will discuss the privacy implications of the new national war on ransomware in response to supply-chain cyberattacks, and its implications for business. Privacy remains a crucial pillar for businesses and no company can afford to leave it off their radar. Come join us as we discuss the latest updates and what’s to come the remainder of 2022.

This is our Chapter's fifth, all-day Biennial Institute. We’re presenting in-house topical material on important issues including a 2-hour ethics presentation and 1-hour substance abuse session all presented by expert in-house speakers, moderated by our sponsor law firms. We're hoping this program proves to be the highlight of the year for CLE providing over 1/2 of the year's requirement for CLE. Check out the complete program schedule below and register for each session using the “HERE” links.

Learn what trade regulations might govern your business, even if you think you are not selling outside the U.S. During this presentation we will discuss: 

  • How trade laws apply to ALL U.S. goods - even if the goods never leave the United States, are virtual, or online;
  • What sanctions on China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and other places and persons mean for your business, product development, and sales;
  • The legal limitations and requirements of accepting funds from foreign investors;
  • The national security and Buy American restrictions to consider to be competitive in the procurement space;
  • How import laws, duties, and prohibitions affecting your supply chain, including the import of materials and components, may affect your business and your bottom.

Global Sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering, and Bribery Law Overview for US Companies
Association of Corporate Counsel

Global sanctions can present challenges to in-house counsel because sanctions can potentially impact the foreign businesses and individuals a US company may deal with. Geopolitical events can also affect a company’s interactions with vendors in other countries, which can in turn affect a US company’s customers and investors.
