Employment and Benefits Issues Arising From Mergers and Acquisitions

This webinar will center on key labor, employment, and benefits issues that deserve significant attention when your organization is merging with or acquiring another company. We will provide attendees with a better understanding of what areas might deserve extra scrutiny during the due diligence process, creating a greater likelihood of a strong return on investment. We will discuss the allocation of liabilities, building in protections and practical solutions. 

The labor and employment discussion will focus on potential liabilities in the areas of trade secrets, restrictive covenants, wage and hour law, equal employment opportunity, immigration, workplace safety, labor, and employee relations. The employee benefits discussion will focus on due diligence and compliance relating to retirement plans, health & welfare plans, and executive compensation.

Key Takeaways:

• Potential issues that can arise after uncovering potential liabilities 
• Information regarding employee relations, restrictive covenants, operational issues, and issues of culture and fit between the organizations
• The scope and nature of work associated with merging or terminating employee benefits in a corporate restructuring
• Attendees will also get a sense of which areas will be most important to address post-acquisition
