March 27, 2025 - Annual Employment Law Conference
Our Annual Employment Law Conference, co-sponsored by the New Jersey State Bar Association was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!
The Courageous Plaintiffs segment was spectacular. Evan Goldman’s interview of Christine Savage and Elena Gonzalez and their attorney Donald Burke, Jr. was met with a standing ovation.
Our amazing keynote speaker Huma Abedin, long time public servant, New York Times best-selling author and MSNBC regular contributor, shared her unique perspectives with us – and she inspired the room!
Our line up of speakers had the highest level of expertise and shared their knowledge and insights on complex cutting-edge topics crucial for employment attorneys who want to stay up to date with employment litigation in New Jersey. Special thank you to Senator Andrew Zwicker, Senator Joe Lagana, Ayesha Hamilton, Evan Silagi, Evan Goldman, Claudia A. R., Andrew Dwyer, Andrew Moskowitz, Eric Harrison, Ian Connett, Robert T. Szyba, Jeffrey Brenner and Alan Schorr. The audience was captivated all day!
