Join Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) and Gretchen Carlson, the woman whose lawsuit helped ignite the #MeToo movement and who co-founded the non-profit Lift Our Voices, to discuss the recent groundbreaking bipartisan legislation, The Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act.

Passed with strong bipartisan support in February, the legislation marks one of the most significant workplace reforms in the last 50 years. Under the legislation, employers would be prohibited from requiring workers to settle discrimination and harassment claims through arbitration. Instead, employees have the choice to file suit in court with their own legal representation.

Join us to learn:

• What the law is and why it matters: What the law does, doesn’t do, and its significance
• How a grassroot movement led to bipartisan support, and what it took to pass in both the House and Senate
• What companies should consider doing now, both in response to the legislation and in creating a safe and harassment-free environment
• What’s next, including potential future federal legislation addressing forced arbitration in other contexts and state legislation relating to non-disclosure agreements. 

Who Should Attend: CEOs, Chief Legal Officers, Chief Human Resources Officers, Chief Government Relations Officers, and other C-suite executives; corporate board members; in-house and outside counsel focusing on arbitration, litigation, and labor and employment law; legal, governance, human capital, communications, corporate citizenship, and other professionals.
