This institute will examine recent trends, developments, and cutting-edge issues in employment law. Topics to be discussed include common ethical pitfalls for employment lawyers; legal issues arising both in the hiring process and dismissal of an employee; employers’ increasing use of big data and concerns about employment discrimination; developments in wage and hour law; and strategies for mediating employment disputes. There will also be break-out sessions focusing on employment issues that frequently arise for in-house counsel and legal and ethical considerations for the virtual workplace. The panels will include in-house counsel for several large New York corporations and financial institutions, representatives from governmental agencies, and top practitioners from both the plaintiffs’ and defense bar.
