In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, NELA has created this hub to share information, resources, and announcements related to COVID-19 and its implications for workers’ rights attorneys, as well as our community. Check this microsite regularly for updates on NELA programs, legislative updates, and other ways you can stay connected with the NELA community. It is likely the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic will be far-reaching and long-lasting.

To ensure the safety of our staff, the NELA and Institute teams (California and Washington, D.C. offices) are working remotely. Please be aware that our ability to check office mailboxes or receive deliveries is limited at this time. You can still reach us by emailing us or calling our offices, and we encourage you to keep in touch!

We are actively collaborating to further our work and bring you top-notch CLE programs and services. Please know that we at NELA and The Institute are here for you, and we’ll continue to be in touch as the situation develops.

Join us for our next webinar, Financially-Distressed Settling and Settled Defendants.

Join our panel of plaintiffs’ employment attorneys and insolvency professionals to discuss useful courses of action when, on account of or citing financial distress, employers attempt to reduce or avoid their settlement obligations.
