- - 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
  Employers face a whole new set of challenges with the advent of legal recreational marijuana in California.
  
  California’s cannabis industry is quickly developing into the state’s largest industry. But the rapidly changing state of California law and the tension between federal and state law make it difficult for employers to maintain compliance with all regulations. Making matters more complicated is the FDA’s recent approval of the first CBD drug for epilepsy, which firmly establishes cannabis as having recognized medical value notwithstanding its current status as a Schedule 1 drug under the Controlled Substances Act. This information helps employers navigate these uncertain waters and understand how to properly handle employee and labor issues impacting the industry. Failing to have a proper set for policies in place regarding the cannabis industry can have severe legal and monetary consequences.
  
  Learning Objectives
  - You will be able to explain the current state of the law.
  - You will be able to describe employee use and drug testing policies.
  - You will be able to identify policy frameworks for employers.
  - You will be able to discuss labor peace agreements.

  Healthcare continues to dominate national headlines, with major mergers, acquisitions, and uncertainty around the ACA. In cohesion, life sciences has experienced major industry upsides, with significant employment growth and research funding.Subsequently, there have been several opportunities within the real estate market. CBRE’s U.S. Medical Office and Healthcare findings propose a variety of outlooks:
  - – The senior citizen population (65+), which is the highest per-capita healthcare spending demographic, will double by 2055
  - – Cost containment continues to drive hospital consolidation and expansion of outpatient facilities
  - – The absorption of medical office space continues to be greater than the supply, which has lead to an 8% vacancy rate (* as of Q1 2017)
  - – Healthcare has seen an increase in transaction volume, with nearly $10 billion for the year ending Q1 2017
  As the healthcare evolves to keep up with industry demands, how can hospital systems, healthcare providers, senior living developers and real estate executives work together to succeed in delivering quality healthcare and assisted living facilities, while maintaining a valuable return on investment?
  
  Find out this and more at our State of San Francisco Healthcare & Life Sciences event this June. As always, there will be plenty of opportunities to network and make deals with the best players in the market.

  The revelation of five additional parks makes it clear that there is far more to Westworld than initially meets the eye, and the continued exploration of this fantastic yet twisted Delos Destination depicted in the HBO hit Westworld presents an ever-growing bundle of legal questions and conundrums. The all-star posse of speakers from last year’s standing-room-only program returns. Ninth Circuit Justice John B. Owens,professor Betsy Rosenblatt, attorney and adjunct professor Paul Burns, attorney Farah Bhatti, and moderator Michael Lovitz discuss the top legal questions posed in the second season of HBO’s groundbreaking show, including numerous criminal activities by humans and hosts alike, corporate malfeasance and misappropriation of corporate assets, what is (and isn’t) intellectual property in these Delos parks, and even parsing out the question of the ownership of one’s own thoughts and dreams. And this year perhaps they’ll settle the question of just who really owns the intellectual property created by the robot hosts.

  The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), signed in late 2017, has been hailed as “the biggest tax reform package in more than 30 years.” But small businesses face a mixed bag of new benefits and unforseen obstacles. In addition, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed several significant employment bills that took effect at the beginning of this year. These laws impact policies on staffing, immigration, leaves of absence and harassment training.
  
  Explore these new changes to HR and tax regulations that can be difficult to navigate as a small business owner.

- Since the Herbalife and Vemma consent decrees with the Federal Trade Commission, the litigation focus in direct selling has shifted to private putative class actions filed against a large number of companies accused of operating illegal pyramid schemes, RICO (racketeering), false advertising, unfair business practices and the like. One of these cases has been certified as a class action, while the others are all in their early procedural stages. Many of these cases have been filed in Los Angeles, but others are pending in Miami, Houston, and elsewhere.
  
  Larry Steinberg of Buchalter will share his experiences with class action litigation and will address issues such as arbitration, choice of law, forum selection, class certification, policies and procedures, the current state of pyramid scheme law since FTC v. BurnLounge, and the securities law exemption to RICO. He will offer his analysis and insights as to how these cases can be litigated effectively and how direct selling companies can ward off and/or defeat these types of claims.

- Urgent Care Centers: Corporate Practice of Medicine, State Licensure, EMTALA, Reimbursement Compliance
- +
- This CLE webinar will provide healthcare counsel with a review of the key legal and business issues involved with urgent care centers. The panel will offer guidance on forming, operating, acquiring and selling urgent care centers.
  
  Description
  
  The urgent care center industry has seen significant growth in the number of facilities in recent years, with $15 billion in revenue in 2016. Over $18 billion in revenue in 2017 is anticipated. The growth is spurred by healthcare reform and managed care organization coverage that encourages members to use urgent care facilities rather than emergency rooms.
  
  Forming urgent care centers is an attractive business for hospitals, retailers and private investors. When forming urgent care centers, counsel faces challenges that include complying with laws regarding corporate practice of medicine, meeting state licensure requirements, contracting for reimbursement with private and government payers, determining the best staffing model to use, and others.
  
  Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys discuss key structural, legal and business considerations for the formation, operation, acquisition and sale of urgent care centers.
  Outline
  1. Urgent care centers—a brief overview of the industry and its growth
  2. Key legal considerations when starting and operating urgent care centers
    1. Corporate practice of medicine
    2. Staffing models
    3. State licensure and permits
    4. Documentation and coding
    5. Other areas of focus
  3. Key business considerations
    1. Location, management and services
    2. Issues in buying or selling an urgent care center
    3. Partnering with hospitals and investors
  Benefits
  
  The panel will review these and other key issues:
  - What are the key legal and business considerations for counsel to healthcare providers opening and operating an urgent care center?
  - What are the most common business models used when forming urgent care centers?
  - What factors should healthcare counsel consider when acquiring and selling urgent care centers?

We’ll be diving into the protections necessary to shield receivers from liability in filing tax returns and the most recent changes in the law affecting receivers in the tax areas.
  
  We’ll also be looking at those age old problems of vexatious litigants in receiverships actions, and innovative ways of using and benefitting from post judgment receivers. And of course we’ll focus on the never ending issues raised by our panelists on family law receiverships, hospitality receiverships and health and safety receiverships.

  Richard Ormond, Attorney and Shareholder at Buchalter Nemer, will lead a discussion addressing emerging economic and legal trends impacting the economy, finance and real estate. The evening’s presentation will highlight both macro and micro economic trends that point towards an upcoming recession and a volatile economy where some real estate sectors and regions remain safer than others. As unpredictable as the U.S. economy will continue to be, the U.S. will remain a safe haven for foreign investors fleeing a worsening global economy with stagnant growth, joblessness, increased isolationism and the collapse of additional nation-states. Join us as we discuss the “silver linings” and challenges that exist and how navigating through them may prove to not be for the faint of heart.
