Information

A pre-recorded streaming AUDIO and VIDEO replay from the May 2021 webcast seminar, 30th Annual Employment Late Update.

For three decades, this seminar has been the indispensable educational opportunity for all attorneys practicing in, or wanting to learn more about, employment law.

This seminar provides detailed explanation, in-depth analysis, and practical advice for both management and plaintiffs’ counsel in a number of today’s hot employment topics.

This year’s topics include:

An update on the labor and employment changes that we expect to see (or have already seen) under the new Biden Administration
A review of the recent laws passed in Virginia impacting employment law
A look at the latest trends and developments in wage and hour law
A discussion of the issues expected to arise under the ADA and FMLA post-COVID, as well as how making marijuana legal in Virginia will impact the workplace
Emerging trends in non-compete agreements

Plus, the annual Ethics Hour and Annual Update on employment law cases

Confidentiality: Non-Clients’ Misunderstanding and Mistakes
Thomas E. Spahn

This session will explore lawyers’ confidentiality and disclosure duties in the context of non-clients’ misunderstanding and mistakes. Topics will include: the difference between ethics and professionalism; dealing with unrepresented persons who may misunderstand a lawyer’s role; negotiation ethics (including adversaries’ factual or legal misunderstanding, substantive mistakes, or scrivener's errors); litigators’ disclosure duties in the face of litigation adversaries’ or courts’ misunderstanding, mistakes, or scrivener's errors.

Annual Update on Employment Law Cases

Our annual comprehensive point-counterpoint by two grizzled veterans of the plaintiff and management bars of the most important Supreme Court, Fourth Circuit, and Virginia employment law decisions from the past twelve months.

Wage and Hour Law in Virginia
Tevis Marshall, Joshua H. Erlich

Topics covered in this session will include: the new worker misclassification law, changes to the Virginia Wage Payment Act, the Virginia Overtime Wage Act, and wage issues with remote workers.

Virginia's New Employment Laws

Disability and Leave: Hot Topics in a Post-Pandemic World
David L. Greenspan, Alexis H. Ronickher

A discussion of the issues expected to arise under the ADA and FMLA now that we are (hopefully) coming out the other side of the COVID pandemic, including vaccines, return to working in-person, telework, and employment leave.
