Peter Shapiro, Diane Waters to Present Thomson Reuters Webinar on NYC Fair Chance Act
New York, N.Y. (October 26, 2021) – New York Partner Peter T. Shapiro and Dallas Partner Diane L. Waters will present a webinar on the New York City Fair Chance Act, hosted by Thomson Reuters on October 29 at 12:00p.m. ET.
This informative 60-minute session will cover the requirements imposed by this law, which generally prohibits employers from making inquiries about an applicant’s criminal conviction record until after the employer has extended a conditional offer of employment, and was expanded effective July 29, 2021. Due to the potential consequences of non-compliance, it is important for all covered entities and persons to become familiar with the new requirements and minimize legal claims.
The webinar will be held in partnership with Celesq AttorneysEd Center, a provider of legal education programs to attorneys across the country. CLE credits will be available.
