Yankwitt LLP partner Michael Reed, head of the firm’s Employment Practice, will be a featured speaker at the Jewish Business Network Roundtable on May 19, from 12:00–1:30 p.m., during a lunch session hosted by Barnum Financial Group in Westchester.
Michael will share his legal perspective on a recent matter involving New York’s Recreational Activities Law and its intersection with First Amendment principles, exploring how statutory protections and constitutional considerations can converge in employment-related disputes. Drawing on his experience with litigating complex civil matters, he will discuss the broader implications of the case and what it may signal for employers, nonprofit organizations, and professionals navigating sensitive expression issues in the workplace.
The roundtable is expected to foster a thoughtful and engaging discussion among business leaders, offering attendees practical insight into how courts are approaching evolving legal questions at the intersection of employment law, free speech, and organizational governance.
