Scaling a consumer goods brand in California brings significant regulatory pressure. As your team grows, the legal requirements regarding hiring, compensation, and termination shift frequently. Staying ahead of these adjustments is a necessity for founders who want to avoid costly legal disputes and internal operational friction.
Procopio is teaming up with Naturally San Diego to host an instructional session focused on upcoming California employment law changes for 2026 and 2027. Led by Marie Burke Kenny, a partner at Procopio with extensive experience representing startups, this session provides specific guidance on navigating the current legislative landscape.
Attendees gain practical insight into how these statutes impact day-to-day management. The discussion covers identifying red flags in existing contracts, adjusting hiring practices to meet new standards, and preparing for inevitable transitions in staffing. The goal is to provide founders with the information required to move forward without unexpected liability.
This event takes place on October 27 from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm PDT. Founders will leave with a list of actionable questions to review with their own human resources departments or legal advisors. This is a chance to ensure your internal policies match the current mandates.
If you are running a growth-stage company in the consumer sector, register for this session to get clarity on your obligations. Understanding these rules now reduces the risk of conflict as your business grows.
