Kerry Lin Davidson, of counsel in the firm's Chicago office, will speak during the "Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes: Navigating Potential Emergent Workplace Pitfalls" session. The session will address recent, major shifts in the workplace, including handling increasingly polarized social and political conflicts, the impact of the Dobbs decision in the workplace, and bridging the generational gap in discussions on #metoo issues.
