Steve Kruzel, a partner in Quarles' Labor & Employment Practice Group, participated in a Q&A with Corporate Compliance Insights examining how recent court decisions are reshaping the authority of federal agencies and influencing the future of labor and employment compliance.
The article explores the significance of the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Trump v. Slaughter, as well as a recent circuit court ruling involving the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) successor bar doctrine. Kruzel explains why employers should view these developments as structural changes rather than temporary shifts tied to a particular administration or election cycle.
Among other topics, Kruzel addresses the growing importance of statutory interpretation, the evolving role of agency guidance, and the challenges compliance teams face as federal and state employment laws continue to diverge. He also outlines practical steps organizations can take to navigate an increasingly dynamic regulatory environment.
