The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has initiated investigations into the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices of 20 prominent law firms, responding to requests from the Trump administration. Acting Chair Andrea Lucas has sent letters to these firms demanding information about their DEI-related employment policies. This move is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to challenge the workplace DEI initiatives at major legal institutions. Despite facing pressure, many of the nation’s largest law firms continue to uphold their DEI commitments. The investigations by the EEOC reflect a significant clash between the federal government and big law on the issue of diversity in hiring and workplace culture.
