Employment

Recorded on: Nov. 5, 2012

ZACHARY D. FASMAN: All right. You all ready? Good, good. All right. We wanted to provide you with a section that dealt with, on a more or less holistic basis, the concept of independent contractors in various areas of employment law. It's a huge subject. And it's one that's fascinating not just from the definition-- I know that our three panelists are not going to do the IRS 20 factor test on who's an employee, who's not an employee. That's not going ...

SPEAKER 1: All right, we'll turn to our last segment of the afternoon which is the new electronic workplace and its implications for what we all do in the labor and employment business. To do that we have two very eminently qualified employment law practitioners who will be addressing these issues from different sides of the courtroom, I suppose you might say. First is Michael Curley. Michael is a partner in Curley, Hessinger & Johnsrud. He's ...

CYDNEY TUNE: All right. So no break right now. But this is a perfect segue into our next topic. Unions and guilds have staked their claim in the new world. And I've had-- people are wondering like, hey, wait a minute. I'm not a Hollywood producer. I'm not a studio. I'm a network. Why should I care about this topic? And what I'm seeing a lot of my clients is that first of all, mobile content creation is sort of the Wild West, right? So you've got ...

ZACHARY D. FASMAN: OK. So, this section is called The Year in Review. You've got it on your program. We're going to split this up in various different ways. The three of us have known each other for more time than any of us would like to admit. So it's going to be a lively interchange, I think, with us on the panel. I don't think any of us is going to say, oh, you have to be kidding, but you never know. Who knows. We'll see what goes on. With that ...

MICHELE R. FISHER: So our next panel's presentation, and I'll introduce them as they're coming up here, so we can keep moving, is To Arbitrate or Not to Arbitrate? Good question. Arbitration has been a hot topic since the Supreme Court decisions of Concepcion, Stolt Nielsen, and D. R. Horton case. And there've been a lot of questions and disputes as to whether employers should have arbitration agreements. What are the pros, and what are the cons? ...

ROBERT P. DAVIS: OK, folks. Welcome back for part II of the program. As David talked about at the beginning of the day, this is really shifting to more litigation topics at this point in the afternoon. And as you can see, we prosaically have the three panels listed as part I, part II, and part III this afternoon. So beginning with part I, a truly exceptional line up here with Matt Lampe, next to him Reid Broda, then Adam Klein, Steve Sonnenberg, ...

Recorded on: Feb. 14, 2012

ROBERT P. DAVIS: OK, as we get going here, let me get near a microphone. And them I'm going to actually sit down with my fellow panelists here. We're going to talk about three cases in this panel, three wage and hour cases-- go ahead and pull it up there to the PowerPoint-- that went to trial in 2011. And I will stipulate to Adam and to Michelle and their colleagues, in interest of equal time, if next year there is a plaintiff's verdict, we will certainly ...

SPEAKER 1: All right, let's move into the next and final panel, and I would say we've saved the best for last except that would perhaps degrade what we've had so far. But boy, I'll tell you, it's the same caliber. The panelists-- I'm going to start on the far end. My furthest right is Allan Dinkoff, and Allen's with the Weil, Gotshal firm here in New York. Next to him, of course, is Michele Fisher-- and Michele was introduced and you've heard from ...

TIMOTHY J. LONG: So without further ado, let's start off with what will no doubt be one of the, if not the most exciting presentations of the day. I am honored to be joined by Dean Chemerinsky from UC Irvine School of Law. And I should say at the outset, and I didn't tell the dead this when we talked prior to this presentation about this, but he and I share a connection. When he was coming up the pedagogical ladder-- you must have been 16, if you ...
