Taft, Stettinius & Hollister LLP

Announces A

Labor and Employment Law Update

In Cincinnati



Please save December 8, 2006 to join the Labor and Employment attorneys of

Taft, Stettinius & Hollister LLP in Cincinnati for an update on these and other issues:



Avoiding Employment Litigation. In employment discrimination, harassment and retaliation matters, the old saying, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” definitely rings true. Recent case law developments regarding same-sex sexual harassment and retaliation can create traps for the unprepared employer. In the area of retaliation, a new Supreme Court decision expands the definition of the term “retaliation” to include more types of negative behavior, even including behaviors outside the workplace. We will explore recent developments in sexual harassment and sex discrimination law and the current parameters of “retaliation,” focusing on strategies employers can use to manage employee behavior and avoid administrative claims and litigation.

Jury Waivers & Arbitration Agreements. It doesn’t take much to file a lawsuit these days. We will discuss options available to employers to reduce the prospect of lawsuits by employees. Learn the pros and cons of requiring your employees to sign jury waivers and arbitration agreements.

Employee Computer Use and Electronic Discovery. Employees can spend significant portions of their day on-line for business and personal reasons. We will discuss how this trend can increase the employer’s risk of litigation and strategies for dealing with computer misuse. We will also discuss new rules governing the discovery of electronic files in litigation that will have significant impact on what constitutes a “business record” as well as recordkeeping policies and requirements both generally and as related to employment recordkeeping. We will discuss what documents and files are important in employment litigation and administrative investigations, and what employers should do to prepare for electronic discovery requests.

Invitations to this Seminar will be distributed as the date approaches.
