This program is designed for anyone new to employment law, who needs an understanding of employment law basics. The intended audience includes attorneys who want to develop an employment practice: in-house counsel, corporate counsel, and business counsel who find themselves advising clients facing employment law issues; and human resources professionals who need to be able to identify employment law issues before they develop into employment law problems. The panel of experienced employment law practitioners will provide an overview of relevant federal and state employment laws, and highlight the application of those laws for the participants through the life cycle of the employment relationship from hiring, to managing the employment relationship, and finally to terminating the employment relationship, and post-employment considerations.
Specific Topics:

Hiring Considerations and Practices
Managing the Employment Relationship
Investigations Into Complaints of Harassment and Other Inappropriate Conduct
