Effective formal and even informal documentation is essential for ensuring clarity and legally secure business relationships. This one-hour CLE seminar will focus on the critical role of clearly documenting agreements and relationships to potentially avoid litigation. Attendees will gain valuable insights into practical approaches for drafting contracts with uncertainty and concurrent litigation avoidance in mind, establishing best corporate protocols, and maintaining detailed records. Implementing these best practices may enable attendees to better mitigate risks to avoid litigation or, at a minimum, create sufficient evidence to avoid trial by quick disposition of claims.

Understanding and Eliminating Bias: Bias, both conscious and unconscious, have resulted in disparate outcomes for women and people of color. Growing demands for corporate Economic Social and Governance (ESG) accountability have pushed businesses to look for ways to understand and mitigate bias-related challenges.  In addition, recent court cases regarding diversity programs in higher education have created uncertainty around affirmative diversity programs undertaken by businesses.

In this session, in-house counsel will learn:   

  • The nature of bias and how it impacts decision-making
  • Common biases that impact businesses
  • Tips and strategies to mitigate the effects of bias
  • Recent court decisions regarding affirmative action programs in higher education and the potential impact on corporate diversity programs 

    Presenters:
    Deborah Bayles, Partner, Stinson
    Jennifer Bielak, Senior Manager, Global Diversity & Inclusion, Lockheed Martin Space
    Ann Thomas, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer, Stinson
    Hailey Perkins, Associate, Stinson
