In other news, on Tuesday, 11/19 at noon, I'll be part of an all-star panel of employment lawyers that my friend Eric Meyer is hosting. He and I, along with Dan Schwartz, Amy Epstein Gluck, and Dessi Day, will be discussing how the election will shape employment law in 2025 and beyond. It's free to join, but you do need to pre-register here.
