Litigation and Employment Law Issues for In-House Counsel: The Emerging Path Forward

Blank Rome presents our annual Litigation and Employment Issues for In-House Counsel—a complimentary CLE on emerging issues in business and employment litigation. 

Businesses across all industries and the spectrum of our practices continue to reckon with an ever-evolving landscape and desire a return to predictability. Blank Rome’s complimentary annual CLE on current issues in business and employment law will examine how we navigate our approach to litigation in a hybrid setting, and offer timely topics and insights surrounding the current COVID-19 climate. Traditionally offered as a one-day program in Philadelphia, this year’s conference will again be hosted on our virtual platform and will be livestreamed to our clients and friends coast-to-coast. Please join us as we chart The Emerging Path Forward.

The program will be held Tuesday, December 7, through Thursday, December 9, 2021, and each day’s program begins at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT.
