CLE: Advising Clients in the COVID Era
Join us online from noon until 1 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5 to learn how to advise clients in the COVID-19 era.
By now, many clients have filed for their portion of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) or applied for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL), both of which are made available through the CARES Act. For those that have not, there may exist lingering questions on the impact of these loan opportunities. For the businesses that have obtained or will obtain PPP loans, there exists certain requirements to ensure the maximum amount can be forgiven. Additionally, the CARES Act provides businesses (and their employees) a number of additional opportunities to weather the COVID crisis. At the same time, there are certain measures a business should employ to protect its interests while employees work from home. Likewise, our clients need to be aware of the paid leave obligations under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and related statutes.
Join us for this online seminar that will: provide a quick synopsis of the CARES Act loans; review the record-keeping and requirements to seek forgiveness for part of a PPP loan; identify and discuss remaining provisions of the CARES Act that can benefit businesses; review the requirements under the FFCRA and Family and Medical Leave Act; survey portions of the CARES Act that may provide for employee benefits; discuss the need to adapt employee policies and agreements for “remote only” work environments; address lease and contract concerns relating to performance and force majeure; and identify strategies to protect trade secrets in a “remote only” work environment.
This program qualifies for 1.0 hour MCLE credit.
