Legal Risks in Background Screening: Litigation Trends and Compliance
Praesidium’s 2026 Background Screening Webinar Series continues with a focused look at litigation trends and compliance considerations shaping how organizations use background screening today. As regulatory expectations evolve and legal scrutiny increases, organizations must ensure their screening practices are not only effective but also defensible.
This session will explore how legal trends are impacting employers and where organizations are most at risk when screening processes are not aligned with current expectations. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how to approach screening decisions in a way that strengthens compliance, reduces liability, and supports safer outcomes.
What Will Be Covered:
- Key litigation trends affecting background screening practices
- Common compliance gaps that increase organizational risk
- Considerations for using criminal record information in decision-making
- Best practices for handling adverse action processes
- Strategies to support more consistent, defensible screening decisions

“I attended this webinar [series], and even after working with background checks and background check vendors for several years, I learned new things or thought differently about how we work with FCRA in our youth programs. I’m looking forward to the other webinars in the series!”
