Business Liability when Operating During the Pandemic
Some of us are open now. Others are re-opening soon. In every major national or global crisis (especially economic ones), lawsuits follow in droves.
Where do our businesses have legal exposure now and what can we do to minimize it?
Alex Gertsburg will identify and help you combat the legal minefields in the age of Covid-19.
Alex will cover questions like; can we refuse to let employees work from home? Can we force them to? What happens if a customer backs out of a contract claiming force majeure?
