Drew Capuder Will Be Speaking At Upcoming West Virginia Employment Lawyers Association Conference

I look forward to speaking at the West Virginia Employment Lawyers Association‘s annual conference on October 12 and 13, 2018, at Hawk’s Nest State Park in Ansted, West Virginia.

I will be speaking and presenting an article on the Harless wrongful discharge doctrine, which deals with termination of employees where the employer’s motivation allegedly violates a substantial public policy.

I will also be presenting an article and participating in a panel discussion on social networking & electronic discovery issues.
