Overview

In its third year, Covid-19 continues to present major challenges to corporate legal departments and the law firms that advise them.

New Covid-19 variants have led to fluctuating public health guidelines. A complex patchwork of state and local requirements around vaccines, masks, and safety protocols in the workplace has made compliance challenging. And staffing shortages are forcing businesses to adapt.

This year’s live virtual event provided expert insights to help employers avoid legal risks and build a sound strategy in the face of an uncertain future.

We’ll discuss:

  • Covid-19 litigation trends and best practices
  • Latest federal, state, and local legislation and regulatory standards
  • Vaccine mandates
  • Accommodation issues
  • Worker health and safety
  • Worker retention and recruiting
  • Employment agreements
