ACI's 13th National Forum on

Wage & Hour Claims And Class Actions

Tuesday, September 20 to Wednesday, September 21, 2011
Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, CA

YOU SPOKE, WE LISTENED: “More in-house counsel and Judges than ever before.”

If you practice labor & employment law, you simply cannot miss this September’s premier wage and hour litigation forum.

An astounding number of wage and hour claims and class action suits continue to be filed and become certified, with many of these actions proceeding to trial. With so many of these cases succeeding at trial, there is tremendous incentive for the Plaintiffs’ Bar to actively pursue these cases. Further, Federal and State regulations are positioned to support the plaintiffs-employees, therefore, it is imperative for companies-defendants/defense attorneys to be informed and remain current on trends, emerging regulations and recent case laws in order to prevent and defend against costly litigation and awards. Not only is trial strategy important, but compliance and preventative measures are of equal importance.

Wage and hour cases are emerging across the country and across industries. The most unexpected employees are receiving astonishing awards (see Yu G. Ke, et al. v. Saigon Grill, Inc. (landmark $4.6 million judgment for NY restaurant deliverymen)). These claims cannot be taken lightly. In the past year, we have also seen pivotal Supreme Court class action cases (AT&T Mobility; Kasten; Walmart; 14 Penn Plaza v. Pyett), that have changed the landscape of wage and hour litigation.

With all of these developments and changes, you cannot afford to miss ACI’s 13th National Wage & Hour Claims and Class Actions conference. This conference will provide even the most seasoned professionals with the most comprehensive review of the industry. Do not miss the opportunity to learn from and network with top experts and gain the most up-to-date information and analyses on the current wage and hour litigation landscape. We have assembled a first-rate faculty of attorneys from top law firms, more renowned jurists than ever before and in-house counsel from Fidelity Investments, Bank of America, Microsoft, Capital Contractors, Ryder System, Family Dollar Stores, Bebe Stores, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, The Home Depot, FedEx, Jamba Juice, Intermune, Bridgestone, 3M, Best Buy, Wells Fargo, Chartis Insurance, State Farm, Marsh & McLennan, ACE North America, Western Union, and many others.
