This interactive presentation will not only cover the legal definitions of the various forms of harassment, but will also provide guidance on some of the gray areas that commonly arise in the modern workplace. Attendees will also gain valuable insight into investigations, avoiding retaliation, and appropriate courses of action to take when witnessing harassment.

She helps employers of all sizes successfully navigate every aspect of the employment relationship, including compliance with leave and disability law, discrimination investigations, updating personnel policies, and drafting executive compensation agreements.

He has experience representing clients in a wide variety of business litigation and complex litigation, including claims related to non-compete agreements, breaches of contract, partnership disputes, business torts, property damage, and personal injury
