How long has it been since your company did a thorough review of your employment policies and practices? Where are your weak spots and potential litigation risks? Sometimes it takes getting completely IMMERSED to uncover the legal limitations and opportunities that lie deep beneath the surface. We want to help you discover the uncharted waters where you could be vulnerable and find the right solution.

In 2016, Spilman SuperVision™ will take a deep dive into the most pressing issues affecting today's workplaces. Join us at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to discuss how to audit your employment policies and practices to ensure they are in line with current regulations and best practices. This year’s event also will provide an opportunity for you to have Q&A time with a lawyer to discuss specific issues of concern to you.

SuperVision™ is offered at no charge to our friends and clients in the private sector who would benefit from education on labor and employment issues, including company CEOs, presidents, human resource directors, general operations managers and in-house counsel of private and publicly held companies.
