March 31: In the COVID-19 Pandemic, What Comes Next For Employers?

The last few weeks have been filled with one headline after another about the coronavirus pandemic. Add to that, almost daily client alerts and legal programs, and it’s been a challenge for employers (and even their counsel) to keep up with all the developments and to think about what comes next. In this hour-long video webinar, Shipman & Goodwin attorneys Gabe Jiran, Daniel Schwartz and Keegan Drenosky will take a step back from the rush of headlines to provide some insight into how employers should be approaching the legal issues that have been arising and plan for the future.
In the program, we will cover:

• What existing and new laws are most critical for employers to consider?
• What are the issues that employers will need to address next in this pandemic?
• How can employers avoid the legal issues that will inevitably arise over time and with hindsight?
• What comes next for litigation and legal proceedings and what can employers expect?
• What options are available to employers when it comes to staffing, including furloughs, layoffs and Connecticut’s “Shared Work” program?

Bring your questions, as we will leave time to address the issues of the day that keep arising during this fast-moving and unpredictable crisis.

March 2, 5, 10, 19+23: Breached! An Inside Look At Cybersecurity For Law Firms

With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for the legal world to turn its judges, attorneys, support staff, and interns towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. These incidents are forcing courts and lawmakers to address, define, and handle these new challenges—often presenting a “case of first impression.” However, as technology continues to advance and evolve, so do our professional legal requirements with respect to upholding our duties in advising and zealously advocating for our clients, while also tackling the burden of data security itself.
This free Continuing Legal Education (CLE) session covers:

1. The latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them,
2. Current data breach laws, 
3. How a lawyer’s professional duty may extend into new areas of technology and cyberspace, and 
4. How to prepare a data incident response plan. "

April 17: Litigating through the Coronavirus

How do we litigate in a pandemic? Courts are closed or operating under restrictions. We can’t visit them to argue, try cases, or attend conferences. Restrictions extend beyond the courthouse. We can’t visit clients. We can’t meet in conference rooms or at the offices of court reporters or mediators. For many of us, we can’t even leave the house. Yet clients still need lawyers. Old disputes continue, new ones pop up, and clients are looking for progress and resolutions.
This webinar addresses the multiple routes available to continue to litigate through the coronavirus. One common theme is to embrace the new technology. But successfully litigating through a pandemic requires other skills with which we as lawyers are very familiar, including practicality, preparation, patience and cooperation.
We will hear from litigators with experience conducting several key aspects of litigations in a fully remote environment — meaning that, in many cases, each participant is in a different location. This includes depositions, mediations, arbitrations, court appearances, arguments, and conferences. We will also hear from litigators who have tackled filings for existing and new cases while weaving through court restrictions that can be both significant and unclear, including the complexities of filings that involve multiple courts operating under different restrictions. The presentation will address additional topics, as the landscape for litigating through the coronavirus changes almost every day.

April 15: Health Law and the Coronavirus: What Attorneys at the Front Line of the Pandemic Need to Know

The novel coronavirus presents unprecedented challenges for health care companies. Hospitals and other health care providers are facing a vast array of challenges, from shortages of beds, respirators, and protective gear to uncertainty around reimbursement for testing and treatment to a rise in the use of telemedicine. These challenges are being met by organizations that already faced complex regulatory regimes, changing payment systems, hurdles in adopting new technologies, and myriad compliance risks.
In response to the pandemic, state and federal regulators have temporarily waived various rules, such as those governing privacy, licensing, and provider location. They have also adjusted coverage and payment requirements to make telehealth more accessible and alleviate some of the financial uncertainty providers face during the crisis. This webinar is designed to help attorneys representing health care providers understand how to adjust their existing policies and practices under these new waivers. It will also provide best practices for staying compliant and meeting new challenges introduced by the pandemic.
Educational Objectives

• Latest federal and state coronavirus responses affecting health care providers.
• HHS’ Limited Waiver of HIPAA Sanctions and best practices to ensure compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule during the pandemic.
• Key considerations for providers as state and federal regulators make telehealth more accessible to patients.
• How 1135 waivers are being used to give providers more flexibility as they respond to Covid-19, including the currently existing 1135 waivers and considerations in deciding whether to request an individual waiver. 
• Details about the CARES Act’s $100 billion fund for diagnosing, testing, and caring for coronavirus patients, including how to request funds and what qualifies.
