2026 California Labor & Employment Law Symposium
Clark Hill’s in-person symposium is designed to help employers stay ahead of California’s challenging and evolving workplace legal landscape. This business-focused program will deliver timely updates and concrete guidance on the issues that matter most to HR professionals, in-house counsel, and business leaders.
Through five focused sessions, our attorneys will provide actionable strategies designed to help employers reduce risk and make more confident workforce decisions in areas including:
-
- Labor & Employment Legal Update – Key legislative and case law developments impacting California employers today
-
- Employee Performance Management – How to document, counsel, and manage performance while minimizing legal risk
-
- Arbitration Agreements – Best practices for structuring and implementing enforceable California arbitration agreements
-
- Leaves of Absence – Navigating overlapping obligations, including PDL, FMLA, CFRA, and disability accommodations
-
- Exempt vs. Non-Exempt Classification – Understanding California’s strict exemption framework and avoiding classification pitfalls
Participants will receive practical resources, a stronger understanding of compliance requirements, and concrete strategies that they can apply to their workplaces, helping them operate in California’s complex employment law environment.
The symposium will conclude with an interactive roundtable discussion featuring all presenters. This open forum provides attendees with the opportunity to ask follow-up questions from the day’s presentations, explore emerging employment law trends and workplace challenges not covered during the program, and gain practical insights from our attorneys on today’s most pressing issues facing California employers.
Breakfast and lunch provided. Light refreshments will also be available during the closing roundtable discussion.
Up to five hours of SHRM, HRCI, and California CLE credit available, pending approval.
