How to Prepare for ICE Worksite Enforcement Investigations and Raids
With Michael Durham
During this presentation, we will discuss the ICE inspection process, recent policy changes, and the importance of reviewing an organization’s I-9 and immigration files. Specifically, we will discuss increases in ICE investigations and raids, along with noting the importance of a raid response plan; review recent policy changes rescinding employment authorization for certain foreign national employees; and review the internal I-9 audit process along with related immigration related files. We will close by guiding best practices to comply with immigration regulations.
Top 10 Things Managers Say That Keep Employment Lawyers Employed
With Mitchell Berry and Mark Scudder
Every day, well-meaning supervisors make comments that unintentionally create serious legal exposure. This session breaks down ten real-world scenarios where routine workplace conversations become key evidence in discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination claims. Attendees will learn how seemingly harmless remarks can trigger liability under Title VII, the ADA, the FMLA, and other employment laws — and walk away with clear, practical strategies to coach managers, reframe risky language, and strengthen documentation practices.
