Presentations

Wiley Reber Law attorneys are top-rated presenters and teachers and have been retained to train thousands of Minnesota employees with respect to employment and labor law issues, and civil rights law. Greg Wiley has presented at the national conference for the American Bar Association, at many Minnesota-based CLEs, before many professional groups, and for a multitude of employers. He also periodically teaches POST-approved courses for law enforcement personnel.

Trainees have remarked that Wiley Reber Law attorneys have a knack for making complex legal issues easy for employees, managers, and supervisors to understand. Moreover, they are noted for making dry subjects interesting. Wiley Reber Law attorneys focus on using current cases to help employees understand how the laws apply to their day-to-day lives. We pride ourselves on tailoring training to a specific employer’s needs and weaving current law with that employer’s policies to make an efficient and effective presentation.
