Like many companies and HR professionals, you are likely struggling to keep up with the dizzying amount of regulations and challenges that change rapidly.

The employment law landscape is fraught with enormous shortcomings stemming from an increasingly partisan landscape; overlap and conflict between federal, state and local laws; and a court system overrun with employment law disputes (with price tags that continue to rise). Then there’s the administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement practices, causing headaches and confusion for some companies. All the while, organizations continue to struggle with how to conduct investigations using practical, legally sound strategies that will keep you out of court.

Register for this FREE webinar for a practical, fast-paced preview of the issues shaping your 2026 compliance priorities. Our employment law experts will unpack the most pressing developments and share actionable strategies to protect your organization.
