Damages in Employment Cases: Cutting Edge Issues
What You Will Learn
In light of the upsurge of employment claims -- many of which are expensive to defend and have expenses disproportionate to actual exposure, while some have the potential for breathtaking jury verdicts -- clients very much need early-on a reasonable evaluation of the potential damages recoveries. Clients need a clear sense of back and front pay exposure, the cost of expert testimony, the potential for invasive discovery, including mental examinations, the risk of a punitive damages award, and the tax and insurance implications of all of this. Our faculty, consisting of seasoned employment trial attorneys as well as a mediator with an employment law background, will explore all of these issues over the course of our 90 minute program.
The series Planning Chairs/Moderators also provide a summary of recent employment law developments in the final 30 minutes, including any regulatory developments and groundbreaking opinions. As an interactive seminar, the program affords the opportunity to submit questions for faculty discussion in advance of and during the event.
