As the workplace continues to evolve amid rapid legal, technological, and cultural shifts, organizations face a growing range of complex labor and employment risks. Nicole Corona will serve as moderator for the program “The New Era of Labor & Employment Risk: What You Need to Know!” at the 2026 Litigation Section Annual Conference.
The session will examine strategies for navigating emerging workplace challenges, including the anti-DEI backlash, retaliation claims related to DEI initiatives, advances in AI-driven performance management, and the risks associated with immigration enforcement actions. It will also address the growing role of AI and synthetic candidates in hiring, potential AI-related discrimination claims, the use of AI in workplace investigations, recent legislative and regulatory developments, and key employment considerations in global mergers and acquisitions.
