It's been a whirlwind year in employment law! Join our panel of employment law practitioners for a fast-paced review of employment law developments in 2017 -- and key trends to keep an eye on in 2018. We'll survey developments from federal agencies, review important U.S. Supreme Court rulings, and discuss trends from joint employment and gig workers to predictive scheduling and fair chance ordinances and the #MeToo movement. We'll also cover best practices in-house counsel and other employment lawyers can use to prepare their clients for employment law compliance in the new year and beyond.
