About the Program

Recent Executive Orders aim to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government and encourage private employers to eliminate certain DEI programs deemed “illegal.” These changes could have significant implications for federal government contractors and grant recipients.

Join our team of experienced Labor & Employment and Government Contracts attorneys as they provide a comprehensive analysis of these orders and what they mean for employers’ workplace policies and strategies moving forward.

Key topics include:

  • An overview of the Executive Orders and interplay with the False Claims Act,
  • How these Executive Orders may or may not change FCA exposure,
  • What targeted organizations can expect from agency investigations into “illegal DEI” practices, and
  • Steps employers can take now to bolster their compliance programs and mitigate risk.
