Morgan, Brown & Joy partner Alexandra L. Pichette co-chaired the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) program, “Responding to Legal Challenges with Regard to DEIB Initiatives in the Workplace,” on March 18, 2025. Pichette and fellow faculty explored the significant impacts that the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decisions in the Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. cases have had on affirmative action in college admission programs, and discussed the legal issues surrounding diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging efforts in workplaces. A recorded webcast of the event will be available on April 2 and April 10 here.

She also provides her clients with daily employment counsel and advice, and guides employer management teams in the preparation of employee handbooks, policies, personnel decisions and hiring practices, through employee separations, workplace investigations, and administration of employee leaves, and with respect to compliance with other state and federal employment statutes.
