Attorneys David Weiss, Ian Carleton Schaefer, Nancy Gunzenhauser Popper, and Alison Gabay will co-present "Cornell Tech Startup Law Summer Speaker Series #4: Navigating Return to Work Issues Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic," a webinar hosted by Cornell University.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further complicated even the best-laid plans and business models, with more challenges on the horizon as businesses prepare to reopen and return to the physical workplace.

  • re-thinking the physical workplace and the appropriate balance with remote work;
  • best practices and requirements for workplace safety, including employee training requirements;
  • the legal parameters and limitations on employee testing, contact tracing, and digital apps;
  • workforce restructurings: furloughs, reductions in force and WARN Act considerations;
