In this inaugural episode of Ogletree Deakins’ Defensible Decisions podcast, Scott Kelly (shareholder, Birmingham) sits down with Nonnie Shivers (office managing shareholder, Phoenix) to unpack the EEOC’s renewed emphasis on systemic, pattern-or-practice enforcement in the wake of a restored quorum and recent leadership moves.

This proactive approach can help validate merit-based decisions and prepare organizations for increased scrutiny.
