April 9, 2024 | 11:30 am - 1:00 pm | Maggiano's Little Italy

Join BoyarMiller Shareholder Andrew Pearce for a practical discussion including best practices and tips for legal strategies related to employees.

Practical tips and suggested best practices, including the answers to:

  • What is an employee acknowledgment letter and why should you use it? 
  • When and why should you send a letter to your new employee’s former employer?
  • What is better – requiring a former employee to return company information or destroy it?
  • Who owns the contacts in your employees’ phone – the company or the employee?
  • Why require a former employee to return or destroy only confidential company information – why not any company information?
  • When you are terminating an employee who does not have a non-compete but you wish she did – is it too late?
  • In an age of non-solicitation agreements, does it matter who is doing the soliciting?

Join ACC St. Louis and Ogletree Deakins for CLE on Tuesday, June 4th!

By this point, in-house lawyers are well-aware that the issue of marijuana in the workplace can be a multistate compliance nightmare.  In addition, Missouri lawyers have been dealing with the November 2022 Passage of the "Missouri Amendment 3", an incredibly difficult change in Missouri law as it relates to marijuana legalization and protections for medical marijuana cardholders in Missouri. 

And an increasing number of employers have chosen to simply stop testing for marijuana altogether—but it is important for companies to realize that waving the white flag is not the only option.

In this session, the speakers will explore practical solutions for employers on topics like strategically setting up a drug testing program, preventing and defending legal claims, and creating a playbook for supporting human resources, health and safety professionals, and operational supervisors.

Attendees will leave this session not only with a greater understanding of the legal issues, but also armed with tools to provide strategic support for their business vision and needs.

Attendance Drawing:
Ogletree will conduct an attendance drawing for a fabulous gift basket!  Must be present to win.

Schedule:
4:30 - 5:00 CLE Check-In and refreshments
5:00 - 6:00 CLE Program
6:00 Networking and more refreshments 

Location: 
Ogletree Deakins St. Louis Office
7700 Bonhomme Ave., Suite 650

We look forward to seeing you IN-PERSON on Tuesday, June 4th!
