Presented by DRI's Employment Law Committee
DRI’s 31st annual Employment Law Seminar is the definitive seminar for employment defense counsel, human resources professionals, in-house counsel and insurance industry professionals. Learn the latest trends in employment law, including practical application of human resource techniques. Once again, we are including the Employment Law Primer at the outset of the seminar, free to seminar participants. This year, the Primer
focuses on practical advice regarding how to handle the initial stages of an employment law lawsuit: how to develop a strategy for a successful defense; the critical legal issues and motions; and discovery strategies to get your defense off to a strong start. The main seminar topics provide an in-depth look at cutting edge issues in employment law today, including a presentation by the Chair of the EEOC and much more.
