Mitigating the Coming Wage & Hour Pandemic◢

Overview

For years, Plaintiff’s attorneys in California have leveraged armies of junior associates and the high cost of litigation to demand massive settlements. But now that they’ve already sued basically every employer in the state, they’re opening offices abroad and bringing their bare-knuckled litigation tactics with them. Aggressive plaintiffs’ firms are targeting employers across the country with class actions that can cost hundreds of thousands in legal fees, even for small disputes. And in many cases, individual directors and officers can be held personally liable.

In this session, you’ll learn:
