Since the last Procopio webinar, the Governor has issued an Executive Order requiring most California residents to stay home which has drastically impacted and curtailed many employer operations. Employers must also comply with the Families First Coronavirus Response Act which takes effect on April 2, 2020. In this unprecedented time, Procopio's Labor & Employment team is prepared to discuss these important developments and answer your pressing questions.

Join us for an informative webinar on this topic featuring three Procopio L&E attorneys. Topics include:

• How the new “stay home” Executive Order affects employers in various industries
• Which businesses and workers are exempt from the Executive Order
• What employers are covered by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act
• How do employees qualify for federal paid sick leave or emergency family medical leave under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act
• What benefits can employees qualify for under the the Families First Coronavirus Response Act
• And many more!

The U.S. construction industry has not been spared from the significant financial impacts of the COVID-19 virus. We’re sure to see a barrage of claims for delay and cost overruns of both public and private projects. Claims will likely stem from a suspension of work as a result of mandatory quarantines and curfews, and/or inevitable material shortages due to the disruption of worldwide manufacturing, distribution and supply chains.

Join us for this complimentary webinar on Friday, March 27 at 12:00 p.m. on the topic of preserving construction claims during COVID-19.  It is vital to have a thorough understanding of your legal rights and remedies to guide your decision-making process in the ensuing weeks. Procopio Partners Mary A. Salamone and Laurence R. Phillips will guide you through key topics including:

• Understanding force majeure clauses
• Managing delay, suspension of work and termination issues
• Preserving rights through notice requirements and claim procedures
• Rights and claims against lower-tiered contractors and suppliers
• Measures to shield against potential price escalation and labor shortages
• Exploring insurance coverage
• And much more…

Join Mintz for a webinar that will examine the recent federal and state legislative changes and emergency orders intended to increase the use of telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics will include:

• Cross-border physician and other provider licensing requirements
• HIPAA privacy and security rules and waivers
• Changes to long-standing DEA rules governing online prescribing
• Waiver of Medicare site restrictions for telehealth reimbursement
