Exploring the Future of DEI: The Impact of President Trump’s Executive Orders

The new Trump administration has issued a series of Executive Orders (EOs) targeting what it refers to as “illegal” Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) practices. In addition to ending all DEI-related activities and programs within the federal government, the EOs rescind certain affirmative action obligations and instruct agency heads and the Attorney General to begin measures to investigate and bring legal actions against private employers related to DEI practices.

Our multidisciplinary team will:

• Help decipher and understand the new DEI Executive Orders
• Discuss the current and future legal landscape for DEI, including the risk of government investigations, shareholder litigation, and private employment litigation
• Provide practical guidance and advice for employers and companies
