We are thrilled to invite you to Conn Maciel Carey LLP’s Inaugural Southeast Workplace Safety (OSHA & MSHA) and Labor & Employment Law Summit in Atlanta, GA, on Tuesday, June 23, 2026! This in-person program, conducted by attorneys in CMC’s national OSHA & Workplace Safety, MSHA & Mine Safety, and Labor & Employment Practice Groups, is designed to update Southeast employers on important legal developments affecting employers across the Region.
Announcing Our Southeast Practice
The Southeast has become the nation’s premier engine for economic growth. To meet the unique demands of regional employers, CMC is proud to announce the launch of our Southeast Practice – providing specialized legal and safety counsel built for the region’s complex and evolving regulatory landscape.
We are also excited to share that our newest Partner, Rachel L. Graeber, will be leading both this inaugural Summit and our new Southeast Practice! Rachel joins us after more than 15 years with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of the Solicitor, most recently serving as the Regional OSHA Counsel for Region IV – the top attorney for OSHA in the Atlanta Region. Her deep experience managing complex litigation and advising on regulatory strategy across the Southeast makes her the ideal leader to head our efforts in this region. You can learn more about Rachel’s background in her bio linked here.
Meet Rachel at our upcoming Southeast Workplace Safety and Labor and Employment Law Summit. Read on for more information about the event.
Learn How to Navigate the Rapidly Evolving
Southeast Regulatory Landscape
As the Southeast region continues to attract new employers and a rapidly expanding workforce, companies operating in the region must stay ahead of regulatory developments that could affect their operations, safety programs, and workforce policies.
Our panelist sessions will focus on the most pressing challenges in 2026:
- OSHA and MSHA enforcement trends and developments.
- A deep dive into the MSHA Respirable Crystalline Silica Rule.
- Federal and state OSHA rulemaking updates, including the latest on Heat Injury and Illness Prevention, updated Hazard Communication requirements, and Worker Walkaround Rules.
- Specific strategies for the “Southeast Giants”—warehousing, construction, critical minerals, manufacturing, petrochemical, food processing, and agribusiness.
- Navigating the specific worker safety and labor and employment trends impacting Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida.
- The intersection of pay practices and health/safety requirements.
We will kick off with the MSHA track in the morning, transitioning to OSHA and Labor & Employment in the afternoon. Attendees are welcome to join us for the full day or select individual sessions that interest you.
