CIHLER: Examining Employers’ Potential Defenses and Affirmative Defenses to COVID-19-Related Claims, Part I

Join Jackson Lewis attorneys in a two-part webinar that examines COVID-19-related claims, defenses, and affirmative defenses, and what steps employers can take to safeguard themselves against potential litigation.
