Overview

 

What’s the point of hiring an employment lawyer? How do you know if your objectives align with those of your outside counsel? This webinar will cover a handful of tough questions that companies should be asking their employment counsel. The answers will not only let you know if your current counsel is a good fit but can also save you millions of dollars in attorney fees and liability.

 

These questions include:

  • How should we handle wage and hour class actions?
  • How hard should we fight on this meritless single plaintiff case?
  • How do we handle repeated and escalating ADA leave requests we suspect are being made in bad faith?
  • How do we handle political speech in the workplace in this era of polarization?

 

This activity has been submitted for HRCI and SHRM recertification credits.
