This CLE program is designed to provide in-house practitioners with legal insights and litigation strategies, as well as practical ideas for addressing trending employment law issues.
In addition to an update on Covid-19 related workplace developments, Kristen will focus on employment law priorities for in-house counsel, including issues relating to agency investigations, restrictive covenants (non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements), wage-and-hour compliance, independent contractor classification, ADA case developments and reasonable accommodations, and a general overview of certain retaliation/whistleblower complaints.
This program will review critical ethical topics that are often faced by in-house counsel who are in the unique position of driving business forward, while also ensuring compliance with business and legal ethical obligations. For instance, when does privilege really apply and how can you use it to protect your organization? How can you use NDAs strategically? What happens if your business team wants to move forward with an action that falls in the "grey area" of the law?
