Please join us as we take you through the steps for conducting a thorough and lawful workplace investigation that helps you to decide if a disciplinary action is even warranted.

Effectively, when you or your client assumes an indemnification obligation, the risk shifts from the other party directly onto you or your client's back. It's no exaggeration to state that they are the most common deal breakers in contract negotiations and the most hotly contested clauses when the contract goes south and winds up in litigation. Please join as we delve deep into the risk-management thicket of indemnities, other limitations on liability, and related considerations.

September 13, 2017 @ 1 PM (ET)
Since the financial crisis, trust and estate litigation has increased at an alarming rate. The most common targets in these lawsuits are the fiduciaries tasked with maintaining and distributing the trust and estate assets, with many lawsuits contending that fiduciaries are unable to effectively manage the complex trust and estate matters for which they are responsible. Further, plaintiffs can cast a wide net when it comes to individual liability exposure, meaning that any or all of the involved trustees, managers, employers, and even those who may have decided to transfer fiduciary duties to a third party are at risk. This webinar explores the different parties who are charged with a fiduciary duty, the duties and obligations of these fiduciaries, and the tools fiduciaries need to prepare for and fight on this growing battlefield.
