The International Bar Association will hold an online session on 30 November 2026 examining how US actions against diversity, equity and inclusion programmes affect businesses operating across borders.
Presented by the IBA Business Human Rights Committee and North American Regional Forum, the webinar will consider implications for global companies trading in North America and the European Union. The organiser’s programme covers workforce policies and procedures, supply-chain management, forced-labour prevention and human-rights issues.
Confirmed speakers include Keith Corkan of Preiskel & Co, Nathan Lankford of Miller & Chevalier, Clara Pacce Pinto Serva of TozziniFreire Advogados, Laura Smolowe of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, and George Washington of Orange Business Services.
For Indian lawyers advising multinational employers, exporters or overseas operations, the discussion is relevant to reviewing group policies and considering how different regulatory expectations affect business relationships.
