As part of the Trump Administration’s efforts to root out DEI and in response to President Trump’s Executive Order 14230, Addressing Risks on Perkins Coie LLP, the EEOC Acting Chair of the EEOC sent lengthy inquiries to 20 major law firms, claiming their DEI practices may violate Title VII. The letters, issued with no charge pending, posed specific questions about employment practices, some reaching back 10 years.  Don’t miss the discussion when David Fortney, Nita Beecher, and Leslie Silverman examine the legal basis for the letters, whether a response is required, and how the letters may help employers understand just what “illegal DEI” is.
