Join us for a lunchtime webinar on how to navigate procedural conditions in insurance policies. This session will feature practical tips to ensure compliance and maximize recovery.
CLE Topic: Insurance policies frequently contain various procedural conditions purporting to impose requirements or deadlines with which the insured must comply in order to obtain coverage. Insurers often argue that an insured’s non-compliance with such policy conditions can limit or negate the insured’s coverage for a loss or claim. Consequently, it is important that insured companies—and their in-house attorneys—understand policy conditions, take steps to comply, and know how to respond to adverse positions by insurers. In this presentation, insurance recovery attorneys from McGuireWoods LLP will explain common insurance policy conditions and requirements, provide tips to ensure compliance, and outline the circumstances in which policy conditions may be waived, excused, or otherwise be unenforceable.
Help individuals clear their criminal records and open doors to opportunity!
An expungement allows individuals who have completed their sentence to dismiss misdemeanor criminal convictions if particular requirements are met, allowing them to move on with their lives and seek jobs and other opportunities that would otherwise not be available. Though the expungement process is fairly simple for trained attorneys, many individuals eligible for expungement are not familiar with the process and are unable to adequately prepare petition materials on their own behalf.
Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles (LAFLA) is hosting an expungement clinic during Pro Bono Week 2025 to provide record clearing relief to formerly incarcerated individuals. Volunteer attorneys will be working in pairs under the supervision of a LAFLA attorney to help draft expungement petitions for individuals (the volunteer service ends at the conclusion of the clinic and LAFLA will take over to provide further guidance to the clients and their expungement hearing). Training will be provided along with food sponsored by ACC-SoCal.

Private Pop-Up Dinner | November 5, 2025 Sponsored by TransPerfect Legal and the Association of Corporate Counsel
An intimate evening awaits… Join us for a one-of-a-kind culinary experience with Chef Felix Barron of KTCHN LA, featuring surprise touches throughout the night. This exclusive VIP dinner is thoughtfully curated to spark meaningful conversations and cultivate lasting connections among leading professionals shaping the future of the legal industry.
Join us to gain practical guidance, sharpen your compliance strategy, and prepare for what’s next in the age of AI.
On October 1, 2025, new regulations aimed at protecting employees and applicants from potentially discriminatory employment decisions made using AI-based tools took effect in California. These regulations come with a host of new requirements and obligations. They also create potential for new claims and increased liability for the unsuspecting employer, with a focus on California’s regulations.
This webinar will guide employment counsel and HR professionals through the legal risks and compliance challenges posed by AI-driven hiring, performance management, and employee monitoring tools. We will spotlight real-world litigation such as Mobley v. Workday, where AI screening tools are under scrutiny for potential disparate impact, discuss expanded civil rights protections for automated decision-making systems, and review California’s other new laws, including the AI Transparency Act and GenAI Training Data Transparency Act. We will also look at what’s happening in other states and at the federal level to help you keep ahead of the “AI wave.”
