Navigating PAGA: Counsel and Company Perspectives is a practical, experience-based program designed to help HR professionals better understand and manage California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). Drawing on real-world insights from legal counsel and company representatives, this session explores how PAGA claims arise, what employers can expect throughout the lifecycle of a claim, and common compliance pitfalls that increase risk.

Attendees will gain actionable guidance on prevention, early response, and effective collaboration with counsel and internal stakeholders—leaving with strategies they can apply immediately to strengthen compliance and reduce exposure.
