A regular focus of the conference’s educational offerings are sessions and events involving the legal, judicial, and regulatory aspects of workers’ compensation. The depth of litigation and regulation run deep, despite having the term “self-execution” ubiquitously used when describing workers’ compensation systems.
Attendees can keep up with the latest judicial rulings and statutory and regulatory changes with the following offerings:
Attorney Breakout
- Hot Topics for Attorneys
- Attorney’s Fees, Motion Practice and Ethical Proceedings
- Statutory Employment: Subcontractors, Independent Contractors and the Roles of PEOs
Professional Mediation Conference
“The PMI breakout program at WCI is probably the most comprehensive, and practical 2-day deep dive into how to effectively prepare for, conduct, and reach a bullet-proof, binding agreement at mediation. IT’s NOT JUST FOR MEDIATORS! But offers techniques and tools for attorneys and claims professionals, as well, to reach a better outcome at mediation and to avoid the uncertainty and enormous expenses associated with litigation. And, as an added bonus, the attendees will learn necessary information about Medicare lien issues, MSA pitfalls and steps needed to protect the parties and attorneys from personal liability from two of the most knowledgeable experts in the field. All are welcome to attend and all will benefit”. – Stuart Suskin
