February 1: A Handy Primer on Drafting and Updating Employee Handbooks

A properly drafted and updated employee handbook not only states the terms, conditions, and expectations of employment, but can also help employers defend against claims of discrimination, harassment, breach of contract, wrongful termination, and other employment law claims. Employers who conduct business in multiple jurisdictions and industries must be diligent in making sure that employment policies are compliant with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. This webinar will give attendees a greater understanding of the purpose of an employee handbook, provide tips to effectively draft employee handbooks and best practices to monitor changes in the law which necessitate handbook revisions.

February 1: Recent English Law Changes Invite Mass Tort Litigation, Some Backed by U.S. Plaintiff Lawyers

Over the last several years English court decisions have broadened the use of aggregate litigation mechanisms, including Group Litigation Orders, which is leading to a rise in mass claimant litigation in the UK. This development brings group litigation in the UK closer to mass litigation in the United States. Recently, U.S.-based plaintiffs’ attorneys have entered the UK market, including some who are known for securing multi-million dollar verdicts. These U.S.-based lawyers have announced their goal of bringing U.S.-style aggregate litigation to English courts, which could cause a substantial change in the UK litigation climate.
Please join Dechert’s Product Liability and Mass Torts group, UK practitioners and guest speakers for a discussion of what has happened to date, what to expect and how to be one step ahead.

February 28: Ukraine: Accountability and the Emergence of a New Global Order

The Russian invasion of Ukraine constitutes a clear violation of international law; by ordering the commission of various atrocity crimes, such as aggression, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and possibly genocide, Russian President Vladimir Putin has incurred individual criminal responsibility. In fact, since Nuremberg, political and military leaders have been held accountable for ordering and orchestrating the commission of atrocity crimes. In the context of Ukraine, Putin and other Russian leaders are already being investigated by the International Criminal Court, which has jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Ukraine; it is likely that the ICC will indict some Russian leaders in the very near future. As the ICC does not have jurisdiction over the Russian crime of aggression, various states have advocated for the creation of an ad hoc aggression tribunal. Those conversations continue in the United Nations General Assembly, and it is possible that we will witness the creation of such a tribunal this year.
In a dynamic Q&A format moderated by CSU |LAW Professor Milena Sterio, Dean Michael Scharf will discuss the various accountability options for the prosecution of Putin and other Russian leaders, as well as the possibility that developments related to the Ukraine conflict may suggest the emergence of a new global order.

This webinar will provide an overview of additional insured endorsements, contract indemnification obligations, and the priority of coverage between various policies. For example, after an accident at a construction site, many entities may be sued. The owner, general contractor, and subcontractors may each have primary and excess policies. Which entities are covered by each policy? In what order should policies respond? What is the interplay between construction contracts and insurance policies? The presenters will address these issues using case law and factual scenarios.

The presenters will discuss:

• Various additional insured endorsements
• Additional insured coverage v. contractual indemnification.

March 15: National Security Review Of Foreign Investment Transactions

While bipartisan legislative successes have been few and far between in our highly-charged political environment, a general consensus on the need to provide a stronger framework for reviewing foreign investment in US companies led to the passage of the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (‘FIRRMA’) in the summer of 2018. The issuance of a final rule in January 2020 implementing FIRRMA subsequently crystallized the process for CFIUS review of inbound transactions. This seminar will review the landscape leading to FIRRMA, the highpoints of the new regulatory process, and provide an update on recent developments as changing national security concerns continue to provide calls for additional regulatory changes. It will also offer significant instruction on techniques for researching various aspects of this topic—from legislation to regulation and even how to analyze market examples of CFIUS approval clauses in M&A agreements.

March 9: Cybersecurity for Law Firms: How to Minimize Risk and Protect Your Office

January 20: The FTC’s Proposed Rule Banning Non-Competes Explained

On January 5, 2023, the Federal Trade Commission, in a 3-1 split decision, issued a 216-page proposed rule banning non-compete agreements while seeking public comment. The proposed rule would ban contracts preventing a “worker from seeking or accepting employment … after the conclusion of the worker’s employment with the employer.” The proposed rule has several exceptions for certain employers and industries but leaves many unanswered questions. This webinar will explore common questions such as what is a de facto non-compete? What industries are excluded from the proposed rule? What about non-solicitation or non-disclosure agreements? Will President Biden outlaw non-competes altogether? Will there be legal challenges? What happens next? This webinar will answer these questions and more.
