Presentation Description:

Come explore the world of Illinois law as we discuss recent and proposed changes to statutes and regulations regarding employment and labor in our state.  Some of the areas of interest include changes to non-compete agreement rules, enforcement under the Illinois Department of Human Rights and what is anyone doing about AI (if you attended last year, you might remember I promised an update on AI)?  In our time together, we will also take a look at a few changes in the federal employment law landscape involving recent Supreme Court decisions and the new stance of the EEOC on disparate impact cases.  The goal is to ensure understanding of some of the more impactful changes in the past few months and prepare for 2026.
