Delaware’s new legislation could reshape your corporate strategy and risk management. While seeking to avoid a “DExit” of corporations, these reforms require in-house counsel to make crucial decisions about governance, incorporation, and legal risks. Here’s how these changes impact in-house counsel and what you can do: 🔹Reevaluate incorporation strategy: Assess if Delaware remains the best jurisdiction or if alternative states offer more favorable rules. 🔹Review governance and compliance policies: Align with increased protections for executives and evolving investor expectations. 🔹Assess legal risk exposure: Understand how reduced access to corporate documents may influence litigation risks. 🔹Monitor litigation trends: Stay ahead of legal challenges to this new law that could affect your organization.

ACC President and CEO, Veta T. Richardson NACD.DC, highlights a stark truth: women, especially Black and Latina women, face significant pay disparities. It's time for organizations to act—audit pay structures, promote transparency, and hold leaders accountable. Let’s close the gap for good 💼 #PayEquity #LeadershipForChange #EqualPay
CEO | Board Director | Strategist | P&L Growth | Global Expansion | M&A | Digital Transformation | ESG | Amazon Bestselling Author
Women have been breaking barriers for generations—but pay disparities persist. The average working woman will have to work all of 2024 AND through March 25, 2025, to earn the same pay that a man in a comparable role will have earned during 2024. That’s gender pay inequity. And it’s even worse for Black and Latina women. As someone who has experienced gender pay inequity myself, I am passionate about speaking out and advocating to reverse this practice. The most effective organizations don't just acknowledge inequities; they take action to eliminate them. Here are 5 steps to address discriminatory compensation practices and ensure pay equity: 💰 Audit your pay structures. Identify and correct pay gaps by conducting regular pay equity audits. Then don’t negotiate deals with new hires that negate your efforts to be more equitable internally. Transparency is key! 📊 Measure your results. Set clear goals, collect and analyze compensation data, and assess the impact of policies on women—especially Black and Hispanic women, who continue to face the widest gaps. 🏛️ Strengthen internal policies. Pay disparities don't fix themselves! Organizations must implement fair hiring, promotion, and salary-setting practices that prioritize equity. 🚀 Promote pay transparency. Secrecy around how salaries are set allows inequalities to persist. Clear, standardized pay bands help ensure fairness. ⚖️ Hold leadership accountable. Closing the wage gap isn't just an HR issue—it's a leadership imperative. Senior leaders must champion pay equity and commit to meaningful change. Women deserve to be paid what they're worth. The strongest organizations recognize it, talk about it, and (most importantly) take real action to make it happen. What steps are your organizations taking to close the gap? I recommend checking out these resources on the Association of Corporate Counsel website, expertly curated by Jean-Baptiste Pessey and his team, to learn actionable ways to make a difference at your company. https://lnkd.in/eeWd6Mvj #PayTransparency #PayInequality #WageGap #Compensation #Leadership
