The Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution presents: Before You Sign

Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution, Gretchen Carlson, and Julie Roginsky

Join Gretchen Carlson and Julie Roginsky, co-founders of Lift Our Voices, for a lunchtime discussion on workplace fairness and the hidden impact of nondisclosure agreements and forced arbitration clauses.

The event includes launch of the Lift Our Voices LOV Where You Work AI Tool, an innovative platform that empowers employees to understand what they’re signing before it’s too late. By translating dense legal language in NDAs and forced arbitration clauses into plain English, the tool brings hidden terms to the forefront.
