33rd Annual Employment Law Update Seminar 2024

Why Attend?

• Get a summary of federal and state employment law decisions handed down during the last 12 months that affect Virginia practitioners.
• Hear an in-depth review of judicial interpretation of the sweeping 2020 changes to the Virginia employment law landscape.
• Participate in a discussion of the impact of recent decisions by the National Labor Relations Board that impact all employers (not just those with union employees).
• Examine what the Federal Trade Commission’s final rule, announced April 23, 2024, effectively banning noncompete agreements nationwide, means for employers and employees alike.
• Listen to an Ethics session, led by former Virginia Bar Counsel, on conflicts of interest that arise in the employment law setting.
• Understand challenges in characterizing workers as independent contractors considering the January 2024 Biden administration Department of Labor rule.
• Learn how to navigate employee requests for remote work accommodations with employer initiatives to return workers to the workplace (full-time or hybrid).
• Only a few spots remain open for attending in person at Virginia CLE^®’s Bobzien-Gaither Education Center in Richmond/Innsbrook, but you can attend the full seminar by live-interactive webcast or telephone and still be able to ask questions of the speakers in real time.

This annual seminar has been an indispensable educational and networking opportunity for all attorneys practicing in, or wanting to learn more about, employment law for decades. Attendees will receive detailed explanation, in-depth analysis, and practical advice for both management and plaintiffs’ counsel on several employment topics.
