Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Avoiding Litigation Risk and Complying with Ethical Obligations
Presented by: John Lewis, Jr., Justin Donoho, and Yara Rashad
Wednesday, August 9, 2023
12:00PM – 1:00PM
Virtual Zoom Presentation
Program Description: Can shareholders successfully sue companies for securities fraud for alleged misrepresentations regarding DEI progress? Does SEC-approved NASDAQ rulemaking requiring corporate diversity disclosures amount to agency overreach? Is promoting DEI in the legal profession an ethical duty for attorneys such that failure to promote DEI might subject a lawyer to discipline?
Join us for a discussion exploring the intersection of diversity, equity and inclusion and corporate governance where we will also consider the role that we play as lawyers to ensure the administration of justice.
Course Outline:
· DEI Overview (10 minutes)
· Corporate Governance and DEI (25 minutes)
· DEI Best Practices (20 minutes)
· Conclusion and Q&A (5 minutes)
