Employment Law Master Class


May 14 & 15th, 2025   |  1-4:00 p.m. Eastern

A to Z legal training for HR professionals

From day one of his new administration, President Trump has proposed a flurry of changes that will require employers to drastically alter their policies and procedures. This comes on the heels of an already challenging employment law landscape for HR professionals due to changes already made in the Supreme Court’s last and current terms.

Things don’t look to be slowing down, making the Employment Law Master Class more crucial than ever. We’ll update our class materials right up until the event to ensure you have the latest guidance available on the most crucial employment law topics, including immigration, wage-and-hour law, AI in employment and more.

The EEOC secured almost $700 million

for over 21,000 victims of employment discrimination — the highest monetary recovery in recent history.

The EEOC received 88,531 new charges of discrimination

an increase of more than 9%

9.2% increase

Disability discrimination charges increased 9.2%

Sourceline: EEOC FY 24 data

And with so much uncertainty, we’ll make sure you know which regulations, EEOC guidance and NLRB directives employers must follow now. HR professionals need to comply with sweeping changes at the federal level. These are bound to spark countless labor law challenges and increase the litigation risk for employers. And don’t forget, you still must administer leave, recruit to fill vacancies, discipline employees and prevent harassment.

The Employment Law Master Class is an attorney-led training session that will review the most important HR laws, explain updates and help you prepare your department to comply with ever-changing rules. You’ll even have the opportunity to get your questions answered by an employment law expert.

Even if we don’t get to all your questions during the session, you will be able to email them to the instructor following the event.

Join us over two afternoons on May 14 and 15 for the Employment Law Master Class. At the end of this advanced session for HR practitioners, you’ll be confident and ready to tackle the legal requirements and tricky issues you face.
