La Verne ULV College Of Law Business Forum

Press release from the La Verne Chamber of Commerce:

August 03, 2020

Under the direction of Professor Paul Naccachian, the University of La Verne College of Law is collaborating with the City of La Verne and the La Verne Chamber of Commerce to help address issues presented by the COVID 19 pandemic. The plan includes presenting a panel that will identify issues in specific legal areas including Workers’ Compensation, Landlord/Tenant, Labor & Employment and Bankruptcy Law.

The outbreak and rapid spread of COVID 19 has flustered markets and disrupted supply chains, threatening the global economy. The emergency action of governors and local authorities has affected businesses on matters ranging from contracts, workers compensation, insurance, landlord-tenant and employment relations. Legal issues will persist as businesses plan and prepare to reopen with adaptive measures.

The College of Law Students will be completing their externships this year by working with our panelists to discuss and answer questions regarding social, economic, and legal issues raised by the crisis. The externship, a temporary training program in a workplace, especially one offered to students as part of a course of study, will provide an opportunity to interactively understand the legal risks and how to effectively manage them.

Meet our panelists:
