In this podcast, shareholders Nonnie Shivers and Scott Kelly delve into the enforcement activities after a preliminary injunction blocked key provisions (including the certification requirement) of two executive orders (EOs) issued to eliminate “illegal” diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and initiatives. Scott (who co-chairs the firm’s Government Contracting and Reporting Practice Group) and Nonnie (who co-chairs the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Compliance Practice Group) discuss the implications of the national injunction recently issued by a federal judge, the ongoing enforcement activities not halted by the injunction, and the broader impact on federal contractors and DEI programs across all employers. Nonnie and Scott also highlight the importance of staying informed and assessing risk tolerance in light of the evolving legal landscapes, which employers can do with Ogletree’s New Administration Resource Hub.
