Product Description

The recent Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has rapidly evolved since its inception in Wuhan, China. With cases reported in more than 85 countries and territories across the globe, and at least 19 states in the U.S.—and rising, action plans are being devised and implemented across all industries to mitigate the effects and combat the spread of the virus, while simultaneously minimizing the impact on daily operations. 

Questions have arisen across practice areas as to how the virus may affect issues such as the employment relationship, new and existing contractual obligations, and school settings. This FREE new webcast-only program provides essential insight for devising an action plan and navigating the issues arising from the pandemic.
