ICLE Covers You in Your Practice

COVID-19 and the ADA

Updated Chapter

The World Health Organization's declaration of COVID-19 to be a pandemic has implications for employers covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act. Chapter 6 of Employment Law for Michigan Employers includes new discussion of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidance on what ADA-covered employers may do in the event of a pandemic.

Trusts and the SECURE Act

Chapter 10 of Michigan Revocable Grantor Trusts discusses the new challenges for providing trust protections while minimizing tax implications.
