January 28: Skeletons in the Closet - The Importance of Due Diligence

Failure to conduct proper due diligence can mean billions in unwanted costs to your organization or your client. Due diligence can be a legal obligation, but the term more commonly applies to voluntary investigations designed to uncover hidden bad acts. It is imperative that attorneys understand and appreciate the potential risks presented by third parties. Effective due diligence investigations contribute to informed decision making by enhancing the amount and quality of information available to decision makers and by ensuring that this information is systematically used to make the best choices based on cost, benefit, and risk.

In this CLE, learn about the purpose, legal requirements and recent developments for due diligence. Hear about organizational strategies to strengthen due diligence efforts and mitigate financial or operational risk. Attorneys from any size organization and any practice area will benefit.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Learn about the importance of understanding third parties for effective decision making
• Understand key concepts and components critical to successfully conducting due diligence
• Review specific laws that require due diligence
• Discuss the legal penalties and financial risks when due diligence fails
• Get tips on organizing an effective due diligence process

January 24: Gender Discrimination and Harassment in the #MeToo Era

The #MeToo movement has cast a spotlight on sexual harassment in the workplace. That spotlight is shaping public opinion, which in turn, is influencing the best practices employers follow, as well as the policies they implement. Partially in response to these changes, but also independently paralleling them, a host of legal developments have occurred in the past few years that amount to a sea-change in the legal landscape surrounding gender discrimination and harassment. These changes are all noteworthy, and in some cases, momentous. This webinar will examine recent legal developments and explore the best practices employers must follow to reduce the legal risks these new laws present.

January 8: Form I-9 & E-Verify: What You Need to Know in 2019

New year, new audits? Likely so. 2019 will likely see more worksite audits as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is expected to continue its onslaught of Form I-9 audit notices and inspections throughout the United States.
As HR and compliance managers know , completing a Form I-9 involves sifting through numerous gray areas of the law and interpreting often-conflicting instructions. The trouble is, even minor “paperwork” violations can land employers in hot water for non-compliance.
In this webcast, John Fay, LawLogix’s president and general counsel, and Annie Cleveland, corporate director of human resources compliance at Station Casinos, will cover what you really need to know in 2019 related to Form I-9 and E-Verify compliance as well as strategies for assessing hiring policies and implementing critical changes before ICE comes knocking on the door. They will discuss:

• Industry updates and the perfect storm of immigration enforcement
• Recap of ICE Worksite enforcement numbers and the revised “penalty matrix”
• E-Verify update related to the National Law Enforcement Tracking System
• The return of Social Security no-match letters
• Essential I-9 strategies and best practices for “cleaning house” in 2019
• Practical approach for managing and addressing historical I-9s
• Form I-9 & E-Verify sample policies and procedures document

As a bonus for attending the webcast, attendees will receive a Form I-9 Policies and Procedures sample document to aid in their compliance strategies for 2019.
