The Magic of America: Immigration Compliance
 One area in flux is immigration. We will spend some time discussing immigration compliance including recent changes to immigration law and I-9 procedures.

Avoiding Trial Nightmares
 Jury verdicts seem to grow bigger and bigger each year. An errant email, a poorly drafted discipline, an off-hand comment can quickly turn into multi-million dollar mistakes.

The Poison Apple: Harassment Prevention in 2017

There is No Magic to It: Complying with OSHA in Your Workplace
 Workplace safety remains a critical component of any employee relations program. As with other agencies, OSHA spent 2016 changing the rules.
