Navigating 2025: Key Updates and Reforms in California Employment Law

Webinar | 12.12.24, 11:00 AM PST - 12:00 PM PST

Address

Virtual

Get ready for 2025 by joining us to review the major changes to California employment law that occurred in 2024.  This year, California finally reformed the state’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”), limiting the ability of plaintiff’s to bring claims unrelated to their own employment experiences and creating significant incentives for employers to act swiftly to find and fix any employment law violations.

Our webinar will address PAGA reform and what employers should do now, before a claim is asserted, to reduce their potential PAGA liability, as well as other changes adopted this year, such as:

  • Changes to the California Paid Family Leave Program;
  • Expansions of California’s anti-retaliation laws;
  • Amendments to the Fair Employment Housing Act; and
  • The new Freelance Worker Protection Act, among many others.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
