It’s an unfortunate reality of the times we live in, but employers need to prepare for the possibility of an active shooter in the workplace – and consider how to respond, as well as the legal ramifications.

The 82nd (2023) Session of the Nevada State Legislature began February 6 and will adjourn June 5. The bills that make it to Governor Lombardo’s desk and those that he signs into law reflect a state government that has a Republican Governor looking to fulfill campaign promises with a Democrat-controlled State Assembly and State Senate. Nevada Democrats have a bare supermajority in the Assembly (28-14) and are one shy of a supermajority in the Senate (13-8). Without a supermajority in both chambers, Democrats are unable to override a gubernatorial veto and cannot raise taxes without a two-thirds vote as stipulated in a constitutional amendment. The CLE program will provide an update on new and changed laws, regulations, and compliance requirements that directly and indirectly impact in-house counsel, including those employment, labor laws, worker’s compensation, healthcare, housing, education, taxes, energy, natural resources, gun control, and economic development.

In this in-person seminar, we will cover:

· The rules for protecting trade secret information

· Best ways to protect your future and current patents

· When copyrights and trademarks should come into play

· IP enforcement rules of engagement

This presentation we will focus on a breadth of intellectual property issues that general counsel deal with on a daily basis. The program will, at a high level, cover patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret issues that general counsel without inside IP counsel might expect to see on a weekly monthly or yearly basis. We will discuss how to handle the IP legal issues that arise, what inside counsel can handle and when to get some outside help.
