Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani Seattle partner Sarah Turner will present “Cannabis in the Workplace,” for the Federal Bar Association virtually via live presentation on Monday, October 25. This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE and will be available as on-demand content after this event.
Turner’s presentation will be divided into four parts: (1) what is cannabis and why employers will be facing cannabis issues in the workplace; (2) history of the legalization of cannabis and current status of legalization both federally and by states; (3) conflict between federal and state laws and a review of the pivotal court cases surrounding the conflict as it relates to employment; and (4) identifying issues employers should be prepared to address involving accommodation of medicinal use; implementing zero tolerance drug policies; and drug testing.
Turner is a partner with the Employment and Cannabis practice groups in the Seattle and Portland office of Gordon & Rees. She litigates in state and federal trial and appellate courts. Her practice with the Cannabis group includes counseling and training employers on state regulations and how to navigate their respective medicinal and recreational cannabis laws, reviewing and drafting drug and alcohol policies, and representing businesses and individuals in cannabid-related breach of contract and partnership disputes.
