Jeff Tannenbaum, partner with Venable LLP will moderate a panel of legal and Human Resource experts in their discussion of what you can do, both proactively and reactively to ensure hiring qualified staff, reduce your exposure to claims of unfair practices and secure the quality of personnel. Bring your questions and stories for a lively discussion following the presentation.
