As diversity, equity and inclusion evolves amid shifting regulations and social expectations, organizations face new challenges in legal compliance, reporting, and people strategy—making the role of in-house counsel more critical than ever.

This event brings together in-house counsel and private practice leaders to explore how legal teams can help organizations adapt to this changing environment while continuing to foster inclusive and equitable workplaces. We’ll reflect on how to maintain progress, navigate complexity, and align legal and business priorities with a forward-looking approach.
