EMBEDDING DE&I IN YOUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT’S DNA

Increasingly, in-house counsel are learning to use data to show their executive leadership how they're helping their companies meet their strategic goals and increase revenue. Part of this transformation included using data to impact and improve the legal industry or society with their purchasing decisions and demonstrating how they are contributing to the company's diversity, equity and inclusion goals through their recruitment, retention, advancement and promotion of internal talent and  their supply chain with outside counsel.  This is easier said than done.  Internally, it means balancing DEI legal operations requirements with the normal day-to-day legal work within the department. Externally, figuring out what the hiring criteria for outside counsel are, what data is needed from outside counsel, and how to work through any limitations are common challenges. Join this session to learn what the best-in-class in-house teams are doing to address these challenges, what data is being collected, the technology tools they are using to do so, and how they break through resistance to demonstrate how diverse teams benefit clients.

Join us for this one-hour CLE on Attorney Wellness for In-house Counsel followed by a reception to connect with your peers.

As the global pandemic swept across our nation, many employers pivoted away from in-person work and mandatory attendance policies to allow their employees to work remotely in the face of many unknowns.  Now, as government safety recommendations concerning COVID are relaxed and lifted, employers are navigating choices around whether they should mandate a full-time return to the office, allow a fully remote workforce, or adopt a hybrid approach.

Join ACC Northeast and Shook, Hardy & Bacon as our panel, made up of in-house counsel from diverse industries along with lawyers from the Firm, explore some of the employment law issues surrounding these choices, as well as the risks and opportunities presented by this seismic shift in the way we work and live.  The panel will address these hot-button employment issues and share their experiences/challenges, as we all continue to adapt to this evolving landscape.

Register below.  Dial-in information will be sent 24 hours prior to the webinar.
