Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into the complexities of maintaining effective Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs amidst heightened risk and unprecedented scrutiny. Recent Executive Orders and Department of Justice directives take aim at certain corporate DEI initiatives threatening civil and criminal actions and raising the possibility of False Claims Act and quitam whistleblower liabilities for federal contractors and grantees. This webinar will explore how companies can mitigate risk for inclusion programs while maintaining a thoughtful approach to upholding core values.
Our speakers, including members of our DEI Strategy + Defense Task Force, will discuss how to tailor inclusion programs to align with your company’s risk tolerance and objectives, respond to government contract certifications about not operating “illegal” DEI programs and compliance with federal discrimination law, and defend possible government investigations and private litigation.
