Come join your colleagues and clients at the nation’s premier wage and hour defense forum and hone the skills and strategies needed to keep pace with this rapidly changing area of law, defend against new and innovative claims, and prepare for emerging regulations and evolving enforcement priorities.

We've been to this seminar before, and it was a valuable experience. It's good for a minimum of 7.75 hours of California MCLE credits, plus another 2 hours for each focus session.

The list of topics and speakers is impressive. A complete brochure can be downloaded here. If we're not in trial, we'll see you there.
