Program Number: 2155

Program Date: 12/08/2011

Description

The preparation of an employment contract in today’s legal environment almost always requires multi-disciplinary expertise. Too often, attorneys with a singular disciplinary focus (business law, employment law or litigation) prepare employment contracts for their clients. When they do this, they often miss the target. Join us as a business lawyer, a labor & employment lawyer and an ERISA /Tax lawyer from Foley & Lardner discuss the multitude of factors which must go into a properly drafted employment agreement and avoid future disputes.
