Speaker: Michael K. Feinberg, Esq., Partner, Tax, Trusts & Estates
Elder law issues impact multiple family generations, not just seniors. More often than not, there is no pre-planning done when a loved one faces a long term care situation. As a result, when a person faces long term care, they and their family need the immediate advice of a lawyer regarding:
• Powers of Attorney
• Medicare, Medicaid and other Government Programs and Benefits
• Wills
• Titling of Assets
This 30 minute webinar will explain these and other issues and give you a headstart on planning or addressing issues that you are currently facing.

Noon to 1 p.m. - Webinar
Speakers: Aron M. Schwartz, Esq., Chair, Employment Law Practice Group and Member, Litigation Department -- and Justin P. Kolbenschlag, Esq., Member, Litigation Department and Employment Law Practice Group

How you handle the request for leave is critical to avoid disputes and potential litigation and to manage your business profitably. This webinar will help you chart a clear path through the laws -- FMLA, FLA, PFLA, ADA, LAD, Workers Comp, USERRA, and jury duty.
Topics covered will include:
• The circumstances under which an employee is entitled to request time off;
• Who is eligible?
• How much leave may be taken?
• The employer’s obligations and the employee’s rights;
• Paid or unpaid?
• Job security and reinstatement issues;
• Requirements for leave policies in handbooks and postings.
