Our expert presenters will cover 2024’s hot employment law issues, including:

  • KrisAnn Norby-Jahner, Attorney: “Hiring and Managing Remote Employees” In this session, Vogel attorney KrisAnn Norby-Jahner addresses legal compliance issues in hiring remote employees locally and in other states, developing remote work policies, managing remote workforces, and avoiding legal pitfalls.

  • Lisa Edison-Smith, Attorney: “Lessons From Your Lawyer” – In this session, Vogel attorney Lisa Edison-Smith shares some of the sometimes painful life lessons and employment law hacks that she has learned in over a quarter century of employment and labor law practice.  Whether she is your lawyer or not, grab a cup of coffee and join Lisa for this fun and informative discussion.
