Armstrong Teasdale Announces 26th Annual Employment & Labor Webinar
National law firm Armstrong Teasdale will host its 26th annual Employment and Labor webinar on April 16, 2026, bringing together attorneys and industry professionals for a timely discussion on the legal developments shaping today’s workplaces.
The annual program, a longstanding offering from the firm’s Employment and Labor practice, provides practical insight into evolving workplace issues affecting employers across industries. This year’s webinar will cover a range of topics, including generational differences in the workforce, workplace investigations, regulatory developments, artificial intelligence, and recent employment law decisions.
The program also comes at a time of continued growth for the firm’s Employment and Labor practice, driven by increasing client demand for guidance in a rapidly evolving regulatory and workplace landscape. As part of that growth, the firm recently welcomed Partner Paul P. Parisi in its Denver office, further expanding its ability to support clients across key markets.
“Each year, this webinar offers a chance to step back and look at how quickly the workplace is evolving,” said Ida Shafaie, who leads the firm’s Employment and Labor practice. “For more than twenty years now, AT has hosted this event to help clients both understand what the law says today and how to adapt with it in the future.”
The webinar has grown over its 26-year history into a trusted resource for in-house counsel, human resources professionals and business leaders seeking clear, practical guidance on complex employment matters.
Matt Reh, leader of Armstrong Teasdale’s Litigation practice group, noted the increasing complexity of workplace-related disputes and the importance of staying ahead of emerging issues.
“Many of the challenges employers face today are intersecting with broader regulatory and litigation trends,” Reh said. “Programs like this help provide context around those developments and offer a clearer understanding of how to manage risk and respond effectively.”
The 2026 Employment and Labor Webinar will be held April 16, 2026, with registration now open.
