After a year full of changes in law for employers, and the election of a new governor in Maine, Verrill Dana attorneys will offer insights on recent legal developments in labor and employment law and what the new year might bring during our 2019 Annual Employment Law Update. The full-day conference will take place on Thursday, January 31 at The Westin Harborview Hotel in Portland.

The all-day event will begin with a panel discussion of a 2018 labor and employment year in review and expectations for 2019. Then, there will be a variety of breakout sessions with topics on workforce development, implicit bias, USERRA and veteran recruiting, discrimination and harassment investigations, HR 101, sexual harassment, “I-9s”, e-discovery workers’ compensation, arbitration agreements in employee contracts, and wage & hour. Breakout sessions will include HR 101, employee benefits, OSHA, and a sexual harassment CLE for attorneys. Verrill Dana employee benefit attorneys discuss the employee benefit requirements of USERRA and Chris Lockman, Sam Baldwin, and Suzanne Meeker will discuss how to manage fiduciary liability risk in reitirement plans.
