Federal Contractor Compliance in Transition: What Employers Need to Know Now

Date: September 22, 2026 - 1:00pm (EST)

Federal contractors are navigating a rapidly changing landscape of compliance obligations and risks. Ogletree Deakins Shareholder T. Scott Kelly will join Berkshire Associates’ Lynn Clements to provide a practical update on the latest developments affecting federal contractors, with a focus on what organizations need to know now and how they should prepare for what may be coming next.

This one hour webinar on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 1 pm EST will examine the following key developments:

    • Status of Executive Orders concerning DEI and affirmative action, including their implications for federal contractors and subcontractors.
    • Department of Justice’s use of the False Claims Act to pursue alleged noncompliance with federal contracting requirements, including recent settlements involving universities and private employers, and the broader compliance lessons these matters present.
    • Proposed rescission of the EEO-1 Report and other federal contractor reporting requirements, including what these potential changes could mean for employers’ data-collection and recordkeeping programs.
    • Building sustainable compliance programs that withstand future regulatory shifts, including practical strategies for developing durable, defensible processes and the role of conducting workforce analytics (under attorney-client privilege).
    • Department of Labor/OFCCP Final Rules implementing and updating requirements under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), including key obligations and practical considerations for federal contractors.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the evolving federal contractor compliance environment, the enforcement risks in today’s environment, and practical steps to evaluate and adjust their compliance programs.
