The COVID-19 pandemic has caused thousands of businesses to rapidly move their workforce remote. With millions of people now working from home, the potential for cyber security threats has grown substantially.

Avoiding securities litigation
First steps when faced with securities claims
Federal securities claims, including Rule 10b-5 claims
The wide-scale business disruptions resulting from COVID-19 and the consequent government shelter-in-place orders have forced companies to deal with contract provisions they had never given much thought to. Who really believed they would ever have to parse a force majeure clause? At the same time, parties continue to enter into contracts – and they, of course, will do so even more when the business world regains some semblance of normality. It is important that companies apply the lessons we’ve learned during the past two months to the negotiation of future contracts.
Duane Morris panelists will discuss topics including:
The new health order (effective May 10) requirements concerning the adoption of a Social Distancing and Sanitation Protocol. Masks now required of all employees in ANY open business as well as customers, visitors, guests. All open businesses must temperature check all employees and refuse entry to anyone with a temperature of 100 F or higher. Symptom screening only if thermometer is not available.
California Executive Order N-62-20 declaring that any COVID-19 illness of an employee shall be presumed to arise out of the employment for workers comp purposes if certain criteria are met. How to dispute same.
Telecommuting still strongly favored. Consideration, including having a written telecommuting policy, ensuring that employer is notifying employees of right to reimbursement for all business related expenses they incur while working at home, notifying employees of right to reasonable reimbursement for business-related use of personal devices and services (e.g., mobile phone, internet)
Proactive self audit to check whether the company is vulnerable to legal claims from employees or others and related to COVID-19.
