Several top law firms have recently faced increased scrutiny from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regarding their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. At least seven firms that received EEOC letters have made adjustments to their DEI commitments on their websites, likely to reduce the risk of extensive investigations. Despite federal pressure, some leading firms continue to advance their DEI initiatives. Former Department of Labor officials have urged federal contractors to maintain lawful diversity practices amid efforts by the Trump administration to end DEI programs. Legal experts and commentators highlight a crossroads for Big Law, characterized by resistance, compromise, and a trickle-down effect on diversity efforts. Law students and junior lawyers have been identified as having potential influence to address challenges facing DEI in large law firms. Additionally, employers are reminded to comply with federal and state anti-discrimination laws even as DEI initiatives undergo review. The deadline for targeted law firms to comply with EEOC demands was April 15, 2025, and digital evidence is being analyzed to assess the outcomes of these compliance efforts.
