Two million American workers report they are victims of workplace violence each year. These astounding figures have impelled regulators to take aim at work environments that lack protections for employees against threats and verbal abuse, physical assaults and even homicide. In 2010 there were 506 workplace homicides and it is the leading cause of death for working women. Employers and their counsel must be vigilant, understand the legal requirements, and operate with an effective workplace violence (WPV) prevention plan. Join our highly credentialed panelists as they examine: OSHA’s criteria for initiating workplace violence inspections OSHA’s citation history under the general duty clause and the high-risk industries subject to the enforcement initiative The Secretary of Labor’s legal burden of proof under Review Commission and Circuit Court law Identifying feasible means of abatement Patient rights movement Work cultures that view violence against employees as an occupational hazard Inadequate staffing levels due to economic conditions, which increases risk Speakers: Melissa A. Bailey, Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. Washington, D.C Lori Severson, MS, HEM, ASP, Vice President, Loss Control Consultant, Lockton Companies

Legal Marketing Regulations - Ethics - November 13, 2014

The Cargo Cult of Legal Marketing Regulation

Sponsored by Avvo Ignite

Cargo Cults” of the Pacific attempted to bring back the material abundance islanders had enjoyed during WWII by replicating the circumstances associated with those outcomes. Similarly, attorney regulators often enforce outdated legal marketing regulations despite the absence of harm that those regulations were originally designed to prevent.

Lawyers who attend this webinar will learn about:

• How historic prohibitions on "runners and cappers" are being used to squelch today's performance-based advertising methods.

• The prevalence of mechanically applying rules in situations where there is no risk of consumer harm.

• A new approach bars could use to protect consumers AND the free speech rights of attorneys.

California historically has been considered a hot-bed of environmental regulation, and that trend has continued in recent years.  The State has long kept a list of particularly dangerous chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity and requires companies doing business in California to warn consumers about any potential exposure to those chemicals.  Does this sound like an area of law that does not apply to your clients?  Think again.  There is virtually no product and no industry untouched by California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (better known as “Proposition 65”), and with new lawsuits cropping up every day, any client doing business in California needs to know about the pitfalls of this California law.    Speakers: Amy L. Rudd, Partner- a trial lawyer in the complex commercial litigation group. Her practice spans several practice areas, including general business litigation, class action defense, product liability and mass torts, and trademark and copyright matters. In 2014, she was recognized by The Legal 500 US for her product liability and mass tort defense practice in the areas of consumer products, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and toxic tort. Catherine L. Carlisle, Associate- focuses her practice on complex commercial litigation matters, with particular emphasis on class actions, breach of contract, business tort and securities issues. She is also experienced in international litigation and arbitration.
