Description
In employment law, an ethical dilemma is never far from the surface. Do you have the strategies to tackle those that arise in your practice? Our presenters, who are expert in-house, external counsel and paralegals, make sure you do. They explore real-life cases in an interactive roundtable format, which allows for a deep dive into the ramifications of each situation and the challenges they present for the lawyer or paralegal. Whether you represent employees or employers, the strategies that you learn are guideposts for interactions with your clients, opposing counsel/paralegals, and the courts.
- Do you have an obligation to disclose a client’s mitigation?
- How should you handle conflicts of interest that arise as in-house counsel?
- What should you consider when interacting with clients with possible mental health issues?
