Practical legal guidance to help you navigate the constantly changing employment law landscape.

It seems that every year managing employment law issues becomes a bigger part of your job. Why? Because workers are more likely than ever to sue you if they feel their rights have been violated. To protect your organization, it’s essential that you keep up with the latest regulations, court decisions and best practices for avoiding legal trouble spots.

That’s why you’re invited to the Business 21 EMPLOYMENT LAW FORUM 2008 in Chicago on April 22 and 23. This event is perfect for busy HR professionals who want peace-of-mind that they’re up to speed on the most critical employment law issues they’ll face in 2008.

Think of it this way. This event will cost you less than a few hours with your company’s attorney. If the ideas and updates presented during these two days help you avoid even a single employment law problem this year, your investment will be returned many times over.

The forum is being held at the University of Chicago’s Gleacher Center. This state-of-the-art facility is the perfect setting for high-level professional meetings. Plus, it’s located right in the heart of Chicago’s business district so you’ll have easy access to great shopping, restaurants and attractions.
