Jones Day and the Association of Corporate Counsel - Western Pennsylvania Chapter invite you to join us for a timely and informative panel discussion at Jones Day's Pittsburgh Office.

Trade secret litigation and claims brought under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) are on the rise, with several recent $100 million-plus verdicts being reported. This session will provide an update on key developments in federal DTSA cases and will focus on how in-house counsel can prepare now – before a dispute arises – to protect their companies' trade secrets, mitigate risks regarding trade secret disclosure and, if necessary, litigate trade secret disputes.

The panelists will provide an overview of DTSA and the Pennsylvania Uniform Trade Secrets Act, identify concrete steps company counsel can take to best position their clients for litigation success, and explain what in-house counsel can expect in these fast-moving cases.

The Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College (SFF) has significantly reshaped corporate inclusivity programs. While directly affecting college admissions, its criticism of affirmative action has led major companies to reassess or scale back their related initiatives in response to legal, political, and shareholder pressures. At the same time, the early months of the Trump administration have brought sweeping federal changes, including executive orders and updated EEOC guidance that introduce new compliance considerations for employers nationwide. This panel session will explore the evolving landscape, addressing the rise of reverse discrimination lawsuits, shareholder activism, and shifting federal policies that are influencing workplace inclusivity efforts across industries.
