This page preserves a dated firm record about a Georgetown Law event. It is not a current event notice, legal analysis, or independent verification of the event program, attendance, schedule, affiliations, or speaker roles.

What the original firm post stated

The original firm post stated that Tom Spiggle joined a panel of speakers at Georgetown Law for “The Changing Nature of Low-Wage Work: How Automation & the Gig Economy Impact the Future of Work,” discussing employment-law rights in the gig economy.

The same post listed Christine Owens as executive director of the National Employment Project and Rajesh Nayak as Director of Research of the National Employment Law Center. Those organization names are preserved here as historical wording from the original post, not as current affiliation statements. The post stated that the speakers discussed the impact of the gig economy, automation, and low-wage work.

The original post also stated that the event was scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with an opening address attributed to Wendi Lazar, then identified as a partner at Outten & Golden LLP, and closing remarks attributed to Peter Edelman, Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Law and Public Policy at Georgetown University Law Center, followed by a reception.
