Returning to the Workplace and Getting Back to Normal During the Pandemic: Part 1

Please join us for an interactive two-part webinar series addressing the important legal and human resource issues facing U.S. companies as they try to navigate the current challenges presented by the pandemic and as they prepare to bring more employees back to the workplace. 


As vaccination rates increase and confirmed COVID cases abate (thankfully!), and as government agencies, including OSHA, continue to issue important regulatory guidance, companies are: 


  • Revising their operational plans, with a renewed focus on protocols to facilitate return to the worksite strategies. These plans require careful consideration of numerous employment issues, including compliance with federal, state and local regulatory requirements regarding health and safety, paid leave issues, and wage/hour considerations. 
  • Implementing or modifying policies regarding return to the workplace and remote work arrangements. 
  • Reviewing their approach to COVID-vaccination policies. 
  • Assessing various liability issues presented in COVID-related litigation in designing their operational plans. 

Crowell & Moring’s multi-disciplinary COVID team will lead a discussion of these issues to assist companies as they implement or update their workplace practices and policies. Topics discussed will include:


  • Suggested considerations for implementing or modifying return to the workplace policies such as workplace safety or communications plans.
  • Best practices involving employee vaccination protocols, and record keeping.
  • Other important workplace rules aimed to protect the health and safety of employees.

A portion of the presentation will be interactive to address key issues that concern employers. We invite you to pose your questions now (via the registration page) and during the live event.

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.
