Webinar – Disability Inclusion in the EU: A Legal Analysis to Guide Corporate Responsibilities Under New EU Disability Inclusive Legislation
October 1, 2024: 11am to 12pm EST
Join Disability:IN to celebrate the start of Disability Employment Awareness Month with an exclusive webinar exploring emerging disability inclusive legislation in the European Union. The webinar will feature Disability:IN and White & Case’s newly published legal analysis of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), European Accessibility Act (EAA), and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The hour-long panel will outline how the three directives collectively establish a robust framework to enhance the inclusion of persons with disabilities in business. With broad implications for multinational sustainability reporting, workplace accessibility, legal compliance, data collection, and executive leadership, the webinar is designed to break down complex legislation to empower companies with need-to-know information about new inclusive corporate responsibilities.

Webinar – Advancing Disability Inclusion in the Legal Profession
October 22, 2024: 1pm to 2pm EST

It’s proven that the legal profession has long struggled to hire and retain lawyers with disabilities. What are the key obstacles to achieving equality in the legal profession? What role can law firms, corporate legal departments, government agencies, and law schools play in addressing these disparities?
