Description

With a myriad of new and amended labor & employment laws going into effect on both a national as well as state and local level, employers need to be aware of the many nuances of the changing regulation as well as significant considerations due to the potential shifting political climate. Join this session to discover the laws your business may be subject to and discuss ways GCs can minimize the likelihood of costly fines and potential lawsuits down the road. Our expert panelists will share best practices for in-house counsel to deal with the patchwork of rules in different places and across jurisdictions, including the changing landscapes due to pay equity, remote workforce, and the residual effects on policies.

This program was recorded as part of Corporate Counsel's General Counsel Conference East held on October 2, 2023.

Asbestos Litigation: Demystifying Trends, Developments, and Defense Strategies
The usage and the import of asbestos are facing greater scrutiny today as pressures from several US states continue to emerge along with the call for a tighter regulation on public health risks. While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a final rule prohibiting most asbestos-containing products, some uses are still legal, including asbestos diaphragms, sheet gaskets, and other vehicle friction commodities. Moreover, in a report released by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), around 750 metric tons of raw asbestos was imported in 2018. This is the largest amount imported since 2013 despite the amendments made in the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) as well as other federal laws allowing only a “limited use” of asbestos.
Join experienced asbestos litigators Timothy L. Krippner (Segal McCambridge Singer & Mahoney, Ltd.) and Andrew M. Voss (Greensfelder, Hemker & Gale, P.C.) as they provide a comprehensive discussion on the recent trends and developments surrounding asbestos litigation. Speakers will also offer practical compliance strategies in this rapidly evolving legal climate.
