Ogletree Deakins Adds Employment Law Deadlines to Client Calendars

Ogletree Deakins launched a Compliance Calendar that places new state and federal employment law deadlines inside clients’ Google, Outlook or Apple calendars. The feature sits within the firm’s Client Portal and targets HR and legal teams responsible for monitoring changing obligations across several jurisdictions. It is available to Advanced and Premium portal users without an additional charge.

The launch reflects a broader shift in legal technology from repositories that explain the law toward workflow tools that help organizations act on it. Multistate employers must coordinate updates involving job advertisements, onboarding notices, employee handbooks, paid leave, wage deductions, training and terminations. Traditional legal research can identify a rule, but legal operations teams still need to translate that information into accountable tasks and deadlines. Ogletree Deakins developed the calendar following client feedback, suggesting that the immediate problem was not access to more content but timely delivery within systems clients already use.
