Over the past eight years, the Obama Administration has pursued its labor and employment law priorities through a series of Executive Orders, administrative rule-makings, and enhanced enforcement efforts. Throughout this time period, the Department of Labor has been elevated to a “front row” agency, leading the charge on several of President Obama’s key priorities, from pay equity to increasing the universe of employees eligible for overtime. As the new Trump Administration continues to take shape and as courts assess the legality of some of President Obama’s signature initiatives, a primary open issue for employers centers upon which of the Obama initiatives will survive in 2017. Our Labor & Employment team, together with colleagues from our Government Contracts group, will discuss the likely regulatory and enforcement landscape as the Department of Labor (DOL), National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) move into the new year.

Key topics to be discussed include:

    • Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces

The Artificial Intelligence Agenda from Capitol Hill to State Capitals: Where We Are and Where We Are (Probably) Going

The landscape of AI governance and regulation is shifting. Following the release of the White House’s “America’s AI Action Plan” in July 2025 and the President’s signing of related Executive Orders, the White House has emphasized (at least rhetorically) a preference for innovation, adoption, and deregulation. But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
