Annual Diversity Event – Law Firm DEI Under the Legal Microscope
Presented by Jonathan A. Segal
Partner – Duane Morris
Inclusion of diverse talent is critical to a law firm’s success. At the same time, DEI programs are under increased scrutiny as a result of a relatively recent Supreme Court decision, the President’s executive order and the EEOC’s enforcement actions.
This program will provide a legal framework for evaluating your legal exposure arising out of your DEI program. It will discuss not only practices which are unlawful but also those which are high risk and alternatives to them.
The program also will include specific steps for auditing your exposure and alternative methods of corrective action.
