Thank you to the 2008 NELC conference sponsors for their contributions:


2008 NELC Conference

April 30 - May 2, 2008 - Atlanta Georgia

National Employment Law Council will hold its next annual conference April 30 through May 2, 2008 at the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia. Click here to view this year's agenda.

The NELC is composed of minority outside counsel and in-house attorneys who emphasize representation of management in labor and employment law.

Our annual conference focuses on topics of interest to such attorneys, as well as those of minority senior human resource professionals. With respect to attorneys, attendance at the conference is limited strictly to outside counsel who regularly spend at least 75 percent of their time representing management clients in labor and employment law matters, and to in-house counsel who devote a minimum of 25 percent of their time to labor and employment matters.

Conference Registration

Conference registrations cannot be accepted from individuals who do not exclusively represent management and meet the percentage criteria described above. This is an advanced program for practitioners with significant experience representing exclusively management in labor and employment law.

Conference registrations are subject to approval by the council based on criteria relative to the applicant's practice. We are continually updating our invitation list; accordingly, we encourage you to send us the names and mailing addresses of colleagues whom you believe meet the requisite criteria and would benefit from this conference. They will be considered for invitation to this or future conferences.
