Miller Nash LLP is excited to report that registration is open for our 2025 Employment Law Seminar, “Inside Miller Nash's Briefing Room: Employment and Labor Law Developments and What They Mean for Your Workplace.” This free, half-day seminar will be presented LIVE, both virtually and in person, from the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon, on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
Straight from the legal newsroom, our team of seasoned employment law & labor relations attorneys will deliver a timely “broadcast” of updates and in-depth legal analysis using real world scenarios and practical solutions to the complex, and sometimes competing, legal issues in today’s workplaces. Our on-the-ground reporting will cover the following topics:
- Legal and Labor Updates: New laws, agency guidance, enforcement activity, and court decisions impacting employment and labor relations for public and private employers with employees throughout the Pacific Northwest, as well as key updates from Alaska and California.
- DEI Executive Orders: What recent executive orders mean for “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives—and how employers can respond strategically, compliantly, and thoughtfully.
- Workplace Investigations: Key considerations for conducting prompt, thorough, and legally compliant investigations in an increasingly complex legal environment, with a focus on assessing credibility factors and report writing analysis.
- AI at Work: The legal implications of artificial intelligence in the workplace and what employers need to know.
- Disability Accommodations: Effectively manage complex accommodation requests under the ADA and state laws, with a focus on practical, defensible approaches.
- Paid Family and Medical Leave: Navigate complex leave scenarios under FMLA, ADA, and state-specific laws—plus strategies to manage them confidently and compliantly.
- Surprise Government Inspections and Audits: How to prepare for and respond to unannounced visits from law enforcement or government agencies like the DOL, OSHA, and ICE—including I-9 audits—without getting caught off-guard.
Seminar materials—including written content, slide decks, and on-demand presentation recordings—will be provided electronically to registrants. HRCI, SHRM, and CLE credits will be applied for.
