Employment Law Update

Labor and employment partner Lynne Anderson provided a legal update about what may be considered “unlawful” DEI efforts following the Trump Administration's Executive Orders at the 2025 BioNJ HR Conference.

She covered actions by agencies like the EEOC and DOJ, the status of related court challenges and trends in anti-DEI litigation and legislation. The session addressed how these developments affect recruitment, hiring, promotions, ERGs, diversity events, training, terminations, and other HR practices. Anderson also shared updates on pay equity, including New Jersey’s new law effective June 1, 2025, and strategies for meeting growing transparency and reporting requirements.
