The political and regulatory climate for employers is shifting—again. The push and pull between state and local mandates and changes at the federal level have many employers facing compliance whiplash.

Join Seyfarth Seattle’s Labor & Employment team for an engaging in-person event featuring two dynamic panels designed to deliver practical insights and peer benchmarking on today’s most pressing workplace challenges. The panels include:

• Cultural Flashpoints & Legal Fault Lines: What Employers Need to Know: A deep dive into cultural flashpoints in the workplace, including religious discrimination and accommodation obligations, navigating employee political expression and activism, and responding to DEI backlash and evolving legal risks.
• Ask the Experts: Real World Counsel on Today's Toughest Workplace Issues: A candid “Ask the Experts” session featuring in-house counsel from across the region and a range of industries, offering benchmarking insights through rapid-fire Q&A and expanded discussion.

Following the panels, enjoy a networking reception with colleagues and peers from across the region.
