About This Course

Recent legal shifts are transforming DEI programs, creating new compliance challenges for employers.

This CLE will explore the impact of Supreme Court rulings and state legislation on workplace inclusion efforts, meeting federal contractor obligations, and offering practical strategies for mitigating risks while promoting diversity in recruitment and promotion, within legal bounds.

You will gain a comprehensive understanding of:

  • The foundational concepts of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and common myths surrounding them.
  • The significant impact of recent executive orders on federal agencies, contractors, and private sector DEI programs, including the False Claims Act implications.
  • Key legal challenges to DEI policies, illustrated through recent case law such as National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education v. Trump and Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services.
  • Best practices for DEI compliance in employee recruitment, retention, and integration, minimizing legal exposure while fostering inclusive workplaces.
  • The international dimension of DEI, particularly compliance with European Union standards and their implications for U.S. multinational corporations.

This course equips you with the knowledge to strategically advise clients, assess risks, and implement robust DEI frameworks that withstand increasing scrutiny and litigation threats, ensuring both legal compliance and a truly inclusive environment.
