About the Program

Summer days may feel long behind us, but the June Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions is still showing aftershocks. The opinion created new and challenging questions that have made their way into the employment arena. As a result, employers are navigating complex questions from their boards, employees, customers and other stakeholders regarding their DEIB initiatives and voluntary affirmative action programs.

Join us for this program where our panel of Seyfarth attorneys with extensive experience with these issues discuss:

  • The most common questions from employers and organizations in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Fair Admissions cases,
  • Practical considerations for updating policies and initiatives, 
  • Assessing and responding to scrutiny given to an organization's DEI policies, and
  • How the decisions impact how businesses should approach structuring their DEI policies and initiatives, and 
  • The potential impact on governance processes, as well as current ESG disclosures, reports, and assurances.

For decades, Seyfarth’s People Analytics practice has been a trusted source of diversity and inclusion guidance to a wide range of employers. As one of the very first law firms to counsel on this topic, we bring a deep knowledge of the legal framework and continue to stay on the pulse of this rapidly evolving landscape.  We have extensive experience providing legal counsel and advice on diversity best practices for employers domestically and globally, with an eye towards legal, cultural, social, and other environmental considerations. We welcome you to learn more about People Analytics and Diversity and Inclusion services.
