COVID-19 has had a significant impact on all of our lives in 2020. As the year closes out, we invite you to join our McCarthy Tétrault lawyers for a week-long COVID-19 series. Every day during the week of December 14, 2020, we will host a video discussion on a different topic relevant to businesses today and as we move into 2021.
How COVID-19 Will Continue to Reshape Your Business in 2021
The pandemic is causing all of us to rethink how we lead, capitalize on opportunities, get ahead of financial and operational risks and adapt to new business and contracting norms. Our panel of experts will share what they see on the horizon in 2021 and beyond.
Risk Management and Class Action Trends in 2021
COVID-19 has given rise to a significant number of new risks and novel causes of action which will continue to provide challenges in 2021. Our panel will discuss how to anticipate and navigate litigation and other business risks in the unsettled landscape ahead.
The Lasting Impact of COVID-19 on Your Workforce
The workplace has immutably changed in the wake of COVID-19. How do leaders support an engaged workforce, ensuring the careers of those who are most impacted are not jeopardized? Most employers have now ensured their workplaces are physically healthy, but what about mental health? As the pandemic drags on over the winter months, what policies and programs will keep employees’ spirits up so they are giving their best performance?
Where Do We Go From Here?
What actions do we anticipate from the government to keep the economy moving? How will the US election outcome change the direction? What will the world look like post-vaccine? Do we see ESG issues continuing to be front and center as companies tackle these big issues on a global stage? Our panel will discuss what business leaders have on their priority list for the new year.
