USLAW's Employment and Labor Law Road Show Hits the Streets
Designed specifically for in-house counsel, human resources managers,
regional managers, and adjusters who face employment issues in the
workplace, USLAW’s Employment & Labor Law Road Show, entitled
Employers' Defense: What Every Company Must Know Today to Be Prepared
Tomorrow, takes the topics of most timely interest and brings them
directly to the Client’s workplace.
Employers' Defense is completely customizable and is tailored to the
Client’s needs. Offered cafeteria style, Clients can pre-select topics
based on their time requirements. The full program is a 4-6 hours, but
can be narrowed down to a one hour lunch-and-learn. If applicable,
USLAW NETWORK can coordinate obtaining Continuing Legal Education
credit for the presentation.
"Through USLAW NETWORK, member firms are able to provide to their
clients access to skilled and experienced lawyers, who are highly
respected in their local communities," stated Renée McElhaney, USLAW
NETWORK Chair. "The USLAW NETWORK Employment & Labor Road Show
reflects this attribute. It is the product of a collaborative team of
exceptional E&L lawyers from law firms all over the United States,
making the Road Show an invaluable tool to assist the clients of USLAW
member firms with their legal needs in almost every jurisdiction."
Employers’ Defense is the product of a team of USLAW NETWORK attorneys
spearheaded by Donean Surratt of Orgain Bell & Tucker, LLP,
Beaumont, TX.
Highly experienced lawyer-members of USLAW NETWORK’s Employment &
Labor Law Practice Group will present Employers' Defense. The Practice
Group consists of approximately 150 USLAW NETWORK member attorneys
based in more than 45 states across the nation, who focus their
practice on E&L issues. The attorneys' independent firms, which
comprise the USLAW NETWORK, have been vetted through USLAW’s strict
admission requirements. As such, exceptionally skilled and season
employment lawyers will present the subject matter of Employers'
Defense.
"The laws regulating the employment arena present a constantly evolving
challenge to employers," remarked David Yandle, Chair of the USLAW
NETWORK E&L Practice Group. "With a new presidential
administration, the pace and breadth of the evolution will likely
increase. Employers' Defense is designed to provide companies with
cutting edge analysis and training on the latest employment and labor
law developments. And USLAW can tailor the program to each company's
needs, whether that includes educating senior executives, updating
insurance adjusters or training mid-level supervisors."
