The past decade saw a rapid increase in formal corporate programs aimed at addressing issues related to diversity,equity,inclusion,andbelongingintheworkplace. In the past few years, however, concerns have been raised that some programs have gone too far and violate the nation’s civil rights laws. The current administration has focused intensively on these concerns, leading to unease for organizations that view their efforts and programs as beneficial and legal. In this program, we will discuss what organizations need to consider in evaluating and adjusting their programs to best manage an increasingly diverse workforce while continuing to comply with anti-discrimination laws. We will address legal, risk management, and practical concerns.
Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the latest developments in antitrust litigation.

This webinar will equip you with the knowledge to stay competitive in an increasingly complex antitrust landscape.
Presented by David Gringer, Partner, Holly Ovington, Counsel, Jane Kessner, Sr. Associate at WilmerHale, and Eric Meiring, Director & Associate General Counsel, Litigation at Meta.
