ABA Challenges Employment NDAs and Advocates for Gender-Affirming Care Legislation

The American Bar Association’s (ABA) House of Delegates has taken a noteworthy stance by recommending against the inclusion of nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) as a condition of employment. This move is seen as a significant step towards enhancing transparency and protecting the rights of employees. Additionally, the ABA’s policymaking body has advocated for legislation that ensures patients’ access to gender-affirming care. These recommendations reflect the ABA’s growing focus on human rights and ethical employment practices. Legal professionals and corporations should take note of these developments, which are detailed in an article by Kevin Penton on Law360.
