Please join us on the Zoom platform for our ACC-SFBA employment law consultation for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. This event is presented by Cozen O'Connor and organized in conjunction with the Justice & Diversity Center of the Bar Association of San Francisco (JDC).

FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 2024

The afternoon will consist of:

12:00pm: Lunch Delivery & Introductions
12:15 - 1:45pm: Volunteer Training (CLE #1: 1.5 hours California Credit)
1:45 - 2:00pm: Breakout Room Prep Time for Volunteers
2:00 - 2:15pm: Non-Profit Introductions
2:15 - 4:00pm: Consultations
4:00 - 4:15pm: Break
4:15 - 5:15pm: "Hard to Get" CLE Happy Hour (CLE #2: 1.0 hour California Credit)

The event starts with a virtual CLE training session entitled "Employment Law Legal Audit for Nonprofit Organizations", by Cozen O’Connor, to update ACC members on employment law in California. Next, members will be placed into small teams (with one or two other attorneys) to meet with their assigned nonprofit clients. Teams will have a couple hours to help their clients identify employment law issues and to counsel their clients. Cozen O'Connor employment attorneys will be standing by to assist with challenging questions.

All ACC members are welcome, regardless of your level of experience - you do not have to be an employment attorney to participate, and you are not required to provide pro bono services to your assigned clients after this event. You must be barred in the State of California for insurance purposes.

Examples of the types of non-profits these events have helped in the past include:

  • An organization that empowers young mothers to complete their high school and post-secondary education and nurtures their children’s development
  • An organization that supported low-income families during the pandemic by distributing packages of education essentials
  • An organization that works on behalf of low-income immigrants and refugees through advocacy, education, legal services, and other community-based services

We will close the day with the "Hard to Get" MCLE Happy Hour.  Cozen O'Connor will host a wine & cheese reception at your desk and offer a NEW "Hard to Get" MCLE, Civility in the Legal Profession.

In a fast-paced hour, you will meet many new and rapidly changing California employment laws. Give them a chance—you might even find some that you like!

Our topics will include presumption of retaliation in certain terminations, workplace violence prevention standards, expanded paid sick leave, still more restrictions on non-compete agreements, and limitations on employers regarding cannabis use.

We also provide timely reminders of our own rapidly developing laws in Illinois and Chicago in some of these same areas.

Employers with an international workforce are having to comply with increasing requirements in relation to pay transparency and reporting requirements.  Some US States already have established pay transparency laws.  

A ground-breaking new European Union Pay Transparency Directive introduces significant changes in Europe from 2026 affecting how employers set pay, the information they share with workers and what they must publicly report.  The Directive also covers a wide range of compensation and benefits components.  

With global trends towards greater pay transparency and lead-in work needed to be ready for the new laws in Europe, this is a topic that should be high on every global employer’s agenda.  

Join our global attorneys as they summarize existing and new laws, the direction of travel, what employers need to do to be ready for the European Directive and why they shouldn’t delay.
