Join the ACC Foundation and the American Bar Association as we explore the results of the American Bar Association’s “Legal Careers of Parents and Child Caregivers” report. The report, commissioned by the ABA’s Commission on Women in the Profession and based on survey responses from more than 8,000 lawyers nationwide in various work settings (including in-house) reveals their feelings regarding the impact having children has had on their careers. This webinar will highlight key data points from the survey and feature a discussion with in-house women parents on their career journeys, challenges faced, lessons learned, and strategies to success despite these barriers and biases. 

In the past year, Congress passed the PUMP Act and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, and the Supreme Court issued its decision in Groff v. DeJoy on religious accommodations.  To make matters more confusing, a Texas District Court Judge partially blocked the PWFA.  We will discuss the challenges ahead and provide practical tips on how to manage accommodation requests going forward and how to comply with changes in the law relating to pregnancy accommodations and religious accommodations in light of the new federal statutes and Supreme Court precedent.

Hot Topics in Advertising Claim Substantiation

The FTC Act requires that advertisers substantiate all claims – express and implied – that an advertisement conveys to reasonable consumers. Proper claim substantiation requires determining how consumers will understand the claims made in the advertising and how to properly support the messages conveyed. During this event, we will discuss claim substantiation as it applies to the advertising law world’s hot topics, such as sustainability and green claims, as well as dive into the kind of substantiation testing that can reliably support a variety of technical or comparative claims.

Join us for real-world risk mitigation advice on real-world advertising challenges in a highly competitive landscape. This in-depth event features a panel comprised of BBB National Programs' National Advertising Division Vice President Laura Brett, who will be joined by Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton partner Barry Benjamin

Every company regulated by our government needs to plan for changes in the public policy agenda that will most certainly follow the election, regardless of who is the winner. Also, activity related to the election in the time leading up to it can bring both reputational and compliance risks. The program will include anticipated changes to legislative and regulatory agendas as well as insights about managing reputational and compliance risks associated with the election which could impact companies.

Presented by The Honorable Christopher Carney, Senior Policy Advisor, and Fred Dombo, Partner Chair of the Government Relations and Regulation Practice Group at Nossaman LLP and Karen Yankosky, Deputy General Counsel, Compliance at DocuSign.
