On June 27, 2025, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) Director Catherine Eschbach published a letter asking federal contractors to voluntarily submit information to the agency identifying their efforts to “wind down” compliance with Executive Order (EO) 11246. On July 1, 2025, OFCCP published three proposed rules seeking to formally rescind the implementing regulations under EO 11246 and modify the regulations implementing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA). These developments follow the U.S. Department of Labor’s congressional budget proposal, which seeks to eliminate OFCCP and transfer enforcement of Section 503 and VEVRAA to other federal agencies. Join this timely webinar as the speakers review these changes and what they mean for covered contractors, as well as best practices for maintaining compliance under EO 14173, Section 503, and VEVRAA.

Investigations in the workplace often involve both in-house and outside counsel who may act as investigators or advisors. However, when does their involvement make the investigation, or certain aspects of it, protected by the attorney-client privilege? To which communications does the privilege attach? Additionally, when might employers choose to invoke or waive this privilege? Join this webinar for a discussion on the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, focusing on Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality of Information) and Rule 1.13 (Organization as Client). The speakers will address these important questions and more.
