The Association of Corporate Counsel, Michigan Chapter, will present the seminar "What Employers Need to Know Today About Managing 'Superstars' and C-Suite Problems" sponsored by Jackson Lewis PC on Thursday, October 12, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Community House, 380 South Bates in Birmingham.
This interactive session focuses on the key interests and risks accompanying C-suite and "superstar" workplace issues. Topics include how to conduct investigations and assess risk, privilege considerations, SEC and other regulatory considerations, communications with boards, shareholders, the organization, and the media, tactics to preserve business confidential information, and how to use the event as a leadership teaching moment for the organization at large.
Speaking at the program will be Marlo Johnson Roebuck, a principal in the Detroit office of Jackson Lewis and a member of the ACC-MI Corporate Diversity Counseling group. She represents employers on the myriad of laws governing the workplace, including but not limited to Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
With more than 20 years of legal experience behind her, Roebuck is an experienced litigator and employment law adviser to employers of all sizes. She has represented employers in the retail, health care, financial, professional services, automotive, real estate, higher education, manufacturing, and life science industries from internal investigations through trial and appeal. She has attained summary judgment and no cause verdicts at trial and arbitration on behalf of clients and procured reasonable settlements in mediation. Roebuck has also gained a view from the inside by working on-site at a large, multi-state employer reviewing all termination recommendations. Her workplace law practice also includes a focus on diversity counseling. She was part of the Jackson Lewis teams that performed diversity audits and programmatic assessments for the USDA and a Fortune 100 automotive supplier.
When Roebuck is not in the courtroom or advising on workplace law issues, she trains senior leadership and human resource professionals on maintaining compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity policies and is a frequently sought-after contributor, speaker, and author on preventing unlawful harassment, making religious accommodations, handling tricky terminations, employment law remedies, and best practices in diversity, inclusivity and hiring in the workplace. She is the co-leader of the firm's African American Attorney resource group.
