The panel will examine how Canadian firms can handle changing practices in the U.S. assess legal and reputational risks of altering EDI commitments, and identify strategies to advance equity amid shifting legal and political climates. Specifically, the panel will discuss: - How are U.S. political and legal developments around EDI influencing Canadian law firm approaches to EDI? What should workplace leaders be paying attention to as they monitor developments? - To what extent could offering EDI initiatives conflict with provincial law society mandates on EDI education, human rights, and rules of professional responsibility? - Are rollbacks of EDI permissible under Canadian human rights and employment equity legislation? How might legislative and Charter provisions permitting “special programs” impact that analysis? - If a firm discontinues a specific EDI initiative, what steps should it take to ensure continued alignment with its values, avoid reputational harm, and protect the well-being of employees? - What practical strategies can Canadian firms adopt to maintain EDI integrity while navigating cross-border business pressures and polarized public discourse? - In a shifting regulatory environment, what steps can workplaces take to uphold EDI values in hiring, client relationships, and firm culture? |
