Akerman is a sponsor of the 2025 ASA Staffing Law & Compliance Conference and the preconference networking event.
Montaye Sigmon will speak on a preconference panel titled "Evolving and Expanding Compliance Issues in Health Care Staffing." The panel will discuss the increasing complexity of audits and state-specific reporting requirements, including the challenges of handling simultaneous audits, data accuracy, maintaining data security, potential downstream industry impact, as well as addressing the obligations of all parties in a managed supplier provider (MSP) relationship.
Sarah Kroll-Rosenbaum, Team Leader of Akerman’s Staffing Law Sector Team, will speak on a preconference panel titled "Asking for a Friend…Answers for Everything and Everyone," where attendees will be able to put forth their anonymous questions and have the audience share their experiences and insights. During the conference, Sarah will also speak on a panel titled “Building a Perfect Compliance Program.” The panel will build a fantasy staffing firm to illustrate the ideal compliance program: air-tight client agreements, 50-state regulatory compliance, perfect FLSA tracking, 100% litigation avoidance, state-of-the-art time tracking, policies that practically write themselves, iron-clad collections, and an agile legal team for a constantly evolving legal environment.
Anthony Sbardellati and Jamie Shyman will speak on a conference panel titled "How to Thrive in 2025: Top Compliance Issues in the Staffing Industry." The panel will discuss the challenges being faced by staffing firms regarding class actions, arbitration agreements, and collection and bankruptcy matters. Attendees will learn about these concerns, ways to protect their bottom line, and how to manage both operational excellence and legal compliance in today’s employment and staffing landscape.
