Mintz's Annual Employment Law Summit

Assumptions about the nature and structure of work have been revisited and employers find themselves operating in a workplace transformed. 

Now, with a multi-generational, geographically-dispersed, politically and socially conscious workforce in tow, a continued expansion of the regulatory landscape, and a greater pressure to enhance the overall employee experience, employers must be ready to confront the many new challenges that lie ahead – all while remaining competitive and reducing potential exposure.  

Join us this Spring as we bring together thought leaders to discuss emerging employment law issues in this transformed workplace and highlight other key legal trends and developments critical for preparing today’s leaders to guide organizations into the future.


This year, we are pleased to announce Lauren Moran, Chief of the Fair Labor Division at the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office as our keynote speaker.

Agenda & Topics Covered:

First things First: Prioritizing Hiring & Onboarding Compliance in an Evolving Marketplace
Whether an employee’s hiring and onboarding occurs in the office, remotely, or as a hybrid of the two, it’s crucial that employers understand the associated legal risks as it can make all the difference between a successful experience and a costly lawsuit. During this opening segment, we will cover requirements and best practices for properly hiring and onboarding new employees (in office and remotely), focusing on employment salary history and pay transparency, artificial intelligence in the hiring process, background checks and drug testing, employment applications and job postings, trainings and orientations, and more. 
Presenters: Mike Arnold and Natalie Groot (Mintz)

To Have and To Hold: Leveraging Change to Drive Engagement and Retention
The workforce is more connected, mobile and diverse than ever.  Given this, employers need to understand the factors, trends, and developments driving the retention of high-performing employees.  Specifically, this panel will discuss the “new normal” driving employee’s everyday experience and practices for retention, including effective performance management techniques (including in the hybrid environment), the prevalence of quiet quitting but also quiet hiring, the impact of GenZ’s growing presence in the workplace, the importance of DEI, as well as focusing on health and wellness in the workplace, and much more.
Moderator: Drew Matzkin (Mintz)
Panelists: Julianna Akuamoah (Chief People Officer, NOBULL), Jay Babbitt (Vice President, Human Resources, Northland Investment Corporation), Kelley Burwood (Assistant General Counsel - Global Lead of Employment, Mobility & Immigration, HubSpot)

When It Is Time To Say Goodbye: Best Practices For Navigating the Separation and Post-Separation Landscape
In this session we will take a deep dive into the thorny, complicated issues that arise when it’s time to end the employment relationship and the issues that arise thereafter.  Topics include: separation/severance agreement do’s and don’ts, tips for ensuring the safeguarding of employer information (including trade secrets), physical property (e.g., laptops) and reputation, final wage payment law compliance, and finally, the keys to implementing and enforcing an employee’s post-employment restrictive covenants.
Presenters: Brendan Lowd and Emma Follansebee (Mintz)

Compensation Considerations in Hiring, Firing and Everything in Between
Today, the business, tax and legal considerations around the design, implementation and efficacy of different compensation models continue to evolve. This session will discuss at a high level some of the significant compensation issues facing companies needing to attract, retain talent and, where necessary, separate with talent. Topics we will cover include:

  • Granting of Equity at Hire, Types of Equity, and Tax Strategies for Employees.
  • What to do about Underwater Options; Revisiting Repricing.  
  • How to Deal with Expiring Options
  • Our CEO wants to conserve cash and hold off on their own salary payment.  Great, right?
  • Equity Considerations in Terminations- acceleration, extension and other changes.
Presenters: Anne Bruno and Benjamin Ferrucci (Mintz)

Keynote Speaker and Q&A Session: Lauren Moran, Chief of the Fair Labor Division at the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office
In 2017, the #MeToo movement took the workplace (and the world) by storm, prompting legislative efforts to address workplace harassment and employers to make significant changes to policies, procedures and training. Now, over five years and a national pandemic later, in a workplace transformed, how have employers continued to advocate for safe, inclusive work environments? This final segment will explore this evolution and cover the latest developments regarding equal rights laws, detail new and novel approaches to ensuring safe workplace environments, and highlight considerations employers and employees should recognize in addressing new forms of discrimination and harassment. 
Presenters: Geri Haight, Corbin Carter and Natashia Tidwell (Mintz)
