Collective and class actions under the labor and employment laws have proliferated and continue to be of paramount concern to employers and management. They create massive liability exposure for defendants, attract the attention of regulators and law enforcement officials, inspire bad press, and can undermine corporate relations. The broad scope of collective and class actions - whether they encompass federal and state wage and hour issues, fall under the aegis of myriad federal and state anti-discrimination laws, or relate to other workplace practices - means that employers must deal with a vast array of complex and ever-changing substantive and litigation issues.

This seminar brings together a national panel of leaders from both the legal and consulting worlds to explain important developments in labor and employment collective and class actions. We will focus on cutting-edge topics of concern to labor and employment law attorneys, litigation and corporate counsel, and human resource professionals.

On Monday, July 27th Garry Mathiason, San Francisco Shareholder, will present The Critical New Issues in Litigating , Settling, and Preventing Employment Law Class Actions - case law and legislative updates; new proposals in more heavily Democratic 111th Congress; Obama's tough enforcement; economy impact; new liability theories, potential for ERISA claims and converting workplace micro-inequities into class actions.
