The Employment Law & HR Summit
New York | September 17, 2025

 

New York remains one of the most dynamic and complex legal environments for employers in the nation. At the Employment Law & HR Summit: New York, senior in-house legal and HR leaders will come together for a full day of practical guidance, strategic insight, and peer-to-peer learning focused on the state’s rapidly evolving workplace laws and compliance requirements.

This summit is built to equip employers with the tools and strategies they need to stay compliant, mitigate legal risk, and lead confidently in 2025 and beyond.

The program will address New York’s most urgent employment law and HR challenges—from ensuring compliance with pay transparency and equity mandates, to minimizing wrongful termination and retaliation claims, and supporting mental health in the workplace. Attendees will explore how to manage overlapping leave laws, implement effective employee training policies, and navigate legal and ethical concerns surrounding automated hiring tools under NYC’s AI bias audit law.

Designed for General Counsel, HR Leaders, Employment Counsel, Corporate Legal Executives, and Senior HR Professionals, this summit offers exclusive access to expert legal perspectives, compliance guidance, and real-world strategies. It’s a vital opportunity to benchmark with peers, stay ahead of policy shifts, and shape workplace strategies that are compliant, equitable, and built for the future.
