When Google parent company Alphabet announced a $310 million commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts over the next 10 years, it marked what, if approved, could be the largest ever shareholder derivative settlement and largest #MeToo-related settlement all at once.

The deal, which also bars Google affiliates from forcing employees with harassment claims into arbitration and limits the reach of non-disclosure agreements, would resolve shareholders derivative claims related to allegations that the tech giant's board members violated their fiduciary duties by enabling a double standard allowing executives to sexually harass and discriminate against women without consequence. It comes a little less than two years after The New York Times reported, among other things, that the company's board approved a $90 million exit package for Andy Rubin, the executive who headed the development of the Android mobile operating system, after an internal investigation found a credible sexual harassment claim had been made against him.
