Each Wednesday from July 15 to August 5

By: Mallory A. Campbell, Michael P. Collins, Mary Ellen Donnelly, Samuel G. Dobre, Devin M. Karas, Gregory M. Katz, Jason F. Kaufman, and Rachel E. Kreutzer

The legal and practical issues employers face are increasingly complex and varied. Employers need to know the steps they can take to avoid, or at least minimize, the liability associated with their human resources decisions and comply with regulatory requirements. Mindful of this need, we have developed this webinar series covering a range of important topics.

Registrants will have the option to register for any individual session or for the full series.
