The New Jersey law firm Pashman Stein Walder Hayden P.C. will hold a one-hour virtual briefing on July 14 aimed at senior executives and business leaders seeking guidance on the legal challenges that accompany workplace uses of artificial intelligence. The session, offered via Zoom from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., will review emerging employment-law risks and compliance measures tied to AI-driven decisions.
Who is presenting and who should attend
The webinar will be led by four attorneys from the firm: Daniel E. Cohen, Angela E. Juneau, Justin P. Kolbenschlag and Keith D. McDonald. It is positioned as an executive briefing for business leaders and senior managers who are overseeing or contemplating the introduction of AI tools in hiring, performance management, payroll and disciplinary systems.
What the briefing will cover
Organizers say the program will focus on practical, compliance-centered steps employers can take to limit legal exposure as they adopt AI technologies. Topics listed for the session include:
- Liability risks tied to the use of AI in hiring, including potential discrimination claims and post-hire negligence concerns.
- Legal pitfalls when AI tools inform employee discipline, such as contract breaches and disparate treatment or impact claims.
- How AI affects compensation and pay determinations.
- Recommended compliance safeguards such as documentation, transparent decision-making, human oversight and incident response plans.
- Specific considerations for unionized workplaces, including how collective-bargaining rules may interact with automated decision frameworks.
Practical implications for employers and households
For businesses, the briefing underscores the increasing need to pair technology adoption with legal review and operational controls. Employers that deploy algorithms for recruiting, performance evaluation or pay risk litigation and administrative claims if systems produce biased outcomes or lack adequate oversight. The program highlights straightforward defensive steps—documenting AI-driven decisions, ensuring human review, and having clear policies—that can reduce legal exposure and operational disruption.
For workers and households, those safeguards matter because they shape how employment opportunities, discipline and pay decisions are made. Transparency and human oversight can limit errors or biased outputs that might otherwise affect hiring chances, career advancement or earnings.
Session format and access
The briefing is scheduled as a one-hour Zoom event. Organizers promise actionable guidance for attendees, including compliance techniques and response strategies. Interested parties were directed to the firm’s registration channel for access to the webinar.

As companies expand the use of AI in everyday employment decisions, briefings such as this aim to translate legal risk into concrete operational steps. For many firms, the cost of implementing compliance measures—policy updates, record-keeping and oversight—must now be weighed against the potential expense and reputational harm of litigation or regulatory action.
