May 26: California Employment Law Update: Sex and Gender Protections in California Workplaces

Title:
California Employment Law Update: Sex and Gender Protections in California Workplaces

Description:
It is no secret that California employment laws tend to be more protective of employees than federal employment laws. In the past year, California employers have found themselves caught between federal and California requirements that are increasingly at odds. Federal enforcement guidance and shifting priorities have come into conflict with many of California's legal protections, particularly in the treatment of sex and gender in the workplace. From expanded regulations on sexual harassment to the treatment of gender as non-binary, California continues to strengthen legal protections that differ from federal enforcement priorities. This webinar will explore these competing compliance obligations and discuss how to navigate them.

May 28: The Next Wave: Navigating Emerging Mass Torts and the Data Behind the Docket

Description:
Mass tort litigation rarely moves in a straight line. New products, developing scientific theories, and access to sophisticated data can quickly turn a small number of claims into nationwide dockets.

The Next Wave: Navigating Emerging Mass Torts and the Data Behind the Docket
focuses on how early mass tort activity is taking shape. We’ll look at already developing tort dockets, including GLP-1 drugs, PFAS, hair relaxers, Roundup, and Depo-Provera claims.

More specifically, we’ll look at where cases are landing, how those dockets are building, and shifts in plaintiff-side tactics.

Large datasets can get messy fast! Multi-jurisdictional filings, overlapping parties, different insureds tied to the same matter… It’s not always clean, and when we add in diverse claimant populations, multiple carriers, and multi-year timelines, it gets harder to track consistently.

Our data expert will tackle data issues from a nuts-and-bolts standpoint.

The Next Wave: Navigating Emerging Mass Torts and the Data Behind the Docket is intended for attorneys, claims professionals, and insurance teams dealing with complex litigation. Our panelists will focus on how docket activity is actually being used in practice and where it can lead to faulty assumptions when evaluating litigation strategy, coverage considerations, and overall exposure.
