About the Event:

Join us for a PSALA Education webinar with Adam T. Pankratz, Office Managing Shareholder at Ogletree Deakins.

Pride Month – a reason to celebrate! Yet, with each set of victories toward equal treatment comes a new round of legislation targeted at members of the LGBTQ community. During this presentation, we will discuss the current landscape of laws related to the LGBTQ community in the United States and, in particular, our trans community members. We will also discuss how those laws and employee reactions/discussions affect the workplace and strategies for supporting our employees.
