Description

Employment law is a hot topic in the sharing economy, and it may present one of the greatest barriers standing in the way of more cooperative economies. Employment law comes up as an issue for an enormous number of sharing economy initiatives, and this workshop will prepare attorneys to spot and analyze employment law issues for their clients. Both for-profit and nonprofit social enterprises often violate employment laws when they host volunteers. Farms often violate employment laws when they host interns. Food and housing cooperatives often inadvertently create employment relationships with their members. Worker cooperatives also struggle to determine the employment relationships within their companies. In short, it comes up a lot. This workshop will prepare you to spot issues and will provide tools for helping clients come into compliance with the law.

This is the seventh workshop in an 11-part series. Attendees are welcome to attend the entire series or to pick and choose from among the workshops.

2 units of MCLE credit will be available, pending approval by the State Bar of California

The workshop will be led by Janelle Orsi, Executive Director of the Sustainable Economies Law Center, author of Practicing Law in the Sharing Economy (ABA Books 2012), and co-author of The Sharing Solution (Nolo 2009).

All proceeds from this workshop will benefit the Sustainable Economies Law Center.
