Reopening and COVID-19 Workplace Litigation To Date: Lessons Learned and Practical Advice to Position Your Company to Mitigate Risk

Webinar | 07.14.20, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT

Register

During the past four months, we have seen a number of significant lawsuits filed against companies that have had workers or customers contract COVID-19, sometimes resulting in death. As businesses continue to refine operations, ramp up production, and welcome employees and customers back to the workplace, retail spaces, and other venues, doing so in a methodical way that makes room for continuous improvement while taking in all available guidance and legal actions will help position them to avoid costly and protracted litigation.


Drawing on these early cases, we will explore workplace exposure issues involving health and safety, employment discrimination and regulatory compliance issues, customer and bystander exposure risks, and look at the use of waivers, releases, indemnities and other mitigation strategies that companies might consider employing. We will also survey the immunities that various states have developed to protect businesses and discuss how to ensure those immunities will apply and protect your company. Attendees can expect to hear a recap of current significant litigation and learn practical takeaways that will help them guide their companies through reopening issues.

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.
