Breakfast Briefing: Defending Discrimination Claims

Description

Join von Briesen & Roper for a Virtual Breakfast Briefing for HR professionals.

Every employer faces legal exposure for discrimination claims. From hiring though firing, and every decision in between, all employers must be aware of the potential risks and implement proactive steps to prevent claims and to assure that they are in a favorable defensible position should a discrimination claim arise. Given that discrimination claims are one of the most litigated issues arising from the employment relationship, understanding the scope of exposure and what it takes to successfully defeat these types of claims is a “must” for all those responsible for employment decisions.

During this Breakfast Briefing, Ann Barry Hanneman and Michael Sherer will discuss:

• The legal landscape of employment discrimination, including the scope of laws governing discrimination (including retaliation and harassment)
• How employees can meet the burdens to prove discrimination
• The best defenses employers can use to defeat discrimination claims
• Process and progression of discrimination claims in administrative agencies and federal court
• Best practices that every employer can put in place now to assure success in defending discrimination claims
