Kutak Rock partner Brian Bartels will be presenting at NAVA Benefits’ upcoming webinar, “Compliance + Fertility + Family Building”, on June 17. As more organizations adopt inclusive family-building policies, staying legally compliant is crucial. With regulations evolving rapidly, a detailed breakdown of compliance steps is more valuable than ever.

The webinar will cover the following topics:

• Key legal updates, including state mandates and federal tax implications
• What’s taxable vs. non-taxable—and why the rules remain unclear
• Best practices for staying compliant while reducing administrative burden
• How to navigate coverage, terminology, and emerging compliance risks
