Virtual Series

Join us for the seventh part of our 2021 Employment Law Annual Update! The virtual series will continue through the year on the third Thursday of each month.

This year, we are taking every precaution to make sure our clients and our community stay safe during the pandemic and, as a result, we are making our usual one-day conference into a virtual series spread out over 2021. Participants will be provided with the information they need to navigate the ever-changing labor and employment landscape, as well as CLE and SHRM credits to meet any licensing requirements that participants may have.

Part 7: The ABCs of Workers' Compensation

Join employment and labor attorney Elizabeth Smith for a 101 session on workers' compensation. If you are a beginner or new to Maine workers' compensation, this is the seminar for you. It will cover everything needed to have a basic knowledge of the Board structure, the litigation process, and tips and tricks to best manage work-related injury claims for all stakeholders.

Webinars are 60 minutes each and provide 1 Maine CLE and 1 SHRM credits.
