View On-Demand
Hosted by Thomson Reuters

As the Trump administration begins its second term, legal practitioners and other advisors are preparing for potential changes and developments that will affect their clients and businesses. Join us for a forward-looking session where our panel of expert attorney-editors will analyze potential shifts in policy, regulatory changes, and legal challenges, including:

  • The potential impact on federal agencies' rulemaking powers under the Administrative Procedure Act, the Congressional Review Act, and the Supreme Court's recent decisions curtailing agencies' powers.
  • Alternative health plan coverage options under the Trump administration, reproductive health care, tax policy, and the unfolding impact of Loper Bright in the employee benefits space.
  • Potential shifts in labor and employment law, including DEI policies and programs, immigration orders, rulemaking regarding minimum wage and overtime, and how the administration change may impact agency policy and enforcement priorities.
  • Possible changes for health care, including policy shifts for Medicare and Medicaid, prescription drugs, health equity, reproductive health, and gender-affirming care, as well as potential changes in scope and reach for federal health care agencies.
Busy at this time? Register anyway! We’ll send you a copy of the webinar recording to watch at your leisure after the event has aired.
