Description:

Integration of legal advice and strategy in human resources matters is an essential aspect of the In-House Counsel’s role in a modern organization.  Often, General Counsel is expected to tackle complex and highly specialized human resources issues. 

In this new, much requested program, we focus on guiding In-House Counsel to address common issues in the human resources portfolio, including practical and compliance matters, legal triage, and professional/ethical considerations.
