The Great Resignation: Why Employee Retention Isn’t Just Good Business, It’s Legal Necessity

Employees are leaving employment in droves. This presentation will cover the reasons popularly cited as driving many departures, which of those reasons could involve legal liability for employers, and the legal risks inherent in the hiring process. Presenters will provide ideas to avoid liability and risk.

Carsen Ruperto, Dentons Cohen & Grigsby P.C.
Michele Brott, Dentons Davis Brown LLP
Samantha Cook, Dentons Cohen & Grigsby P.C.

1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Bridging the Gap Between Diversity and Patent Law

Presenters will discuss the origins of the lack of diversity in patent law, which is the least diverse practice area in the legal profession as well as the lack of diversity on the inventor-patentee side. The panel will also discuss potential action items to address this deficiency.
