COVID-19 Business and Legal Issues with Reed Smith

What is a business's responsibility for the general health and safety of its employees? Host Matt Mowrer, director of the Product Development and Innovation Center at ABS Group, talks with labor and employment partner Mike Correll from Reed Smith about COVID-19 business and legal issues.

As organizations return to work spaces, "there's going to be litigation about people who get sick, and there's going to be much more dangerous litigation about a failure to take appropriate steps after someone gets sick. How are you keeping track of who people have contact with, who are you sending home, how long are you sending them home for–all of those related issues are the biggest concern,"  Correll says.
