On January 10, 2013, Morgan Lewis presented a webinar, entitled "Independent Contractor Misclassification Issues and the 2013 Postelection Risk Landscape."
With the continuation of the Obama administration, the number of independent contractors who will be found to be employees under a host of applicable laws will likely increase.
This webinar focused on what the 2013 risk outlook looks like for those entities that use independent contractors, what the consequences will be for misclassification, how nontraditional employment relationships can be structured to enhance independent contractor status, and how the risks of existing independent contractor relationships can be minimized.
