Summary
A founder-focused session from Procopio and Naturally San Diego will outline California employment law changes taking effect in 2026 and 2027 for growing CPG brands.
Marie Burke Kenny, a Procopio partner, will explain how the new rules affect hiring, pay, employee management and separations as compliance risks and costs rise.
The event is positioned as a practical briefing, giving founders concrete steps to reduce legal exposure, spot red flags and prepare questions for outside counsel or HR partners.
The broader message is that scaling in California is getting more complex, making early compliance planning more important heading into 2027.
