ASA for You

Protect Your Firm From Costly Lawsuits—Register for the ASA Staffing Law & Compliance Conference

Lawsuits in the staffing industry are on the rise—worker misclassification claims, co-employment liability, wage and hour violations, contract disputes, and more. Without the right legal strategies, your firm could face serious financial and reputation risks, adding increased uncertainty in an already uncertain business environment.

At the 2025 ASA Staffing Law & Compliance Conference, top legal experts will share practical insights to help you proactively prevent lawsuits and protect your firm’s compliance framework. During the session “Fortifying Your Firm: Preventing and Managing Staffing-Related Lawsuits” attorneys Dana Baughns of Allegis Group, William E. Corum of Husch Blackwell LLP, and Brittany Sakata of ASA will examine common legal pitfalls that lead to lawsuits and discuss how to avoid them; review contract revisions that could safeguard your firm; and discuss risk-shifting strategies for clients, insurers, and third parties.

Stay ahead of legal risks and protect your firm—register today at staffinglawconference.net.
