Keynote Speaker: Attorney General Lisa Madigan

We are thrilled to announce that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan will be joining us on October 17 as our keynote speaker during lunch. She will be giving brief remarks followed by Q&A. In November 2002, Attorney General Madigan became the first woman elected to serve as the Illinois Attorney General, and one of only a handful of female Attorneys General in the country. In 2014, she was elected to her fourth term as Attorney General and now is the senior-most female Attorney General in the country. She has brought a high level of activism to the Office of Illinois Attorney General and is the first Illinois Attorney General in over 25 years to personally argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Her tenure and proactive approach to her duties as Attorney General continue to attract national attention.

"Labor & Employment Year in Review" and "Advice on Tap"

The seminar will once again begin with our perennially popular "Year in Review" session, which provides guidance on  new and changing laws,  along with recent decisions that impact large and small employers. The seminar will conclude with an open mic session where attendees will have the opportunity to pose questions to Hinshaw attorneys while enjoying beer, wine or soft drinks. Light hors d'oeuvres will be available as well.

Programming Highlights

This year's seminar includes a dynamic panel discussion on crisis management and how to respond to HR disasters in our present digital age when today's employee tweets become tomorrow's headlines. The seminar will also include several breakout sessions and discussions focused on employee benefits, unions and organized labor, workplace freedom of speech and managing employee separation.

Continuing Education

Attorneys and human resources professionals may be able to earn up to 5.75 hours of continuing education credit for CLE, HRCI, and SHRM. Applications pending.
