Law firm leaders are currently evaluating their approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, especially in light of political pressures from the Trump administration. Kent Zimmermann of Zeughauser Group emphasizes that the commitment to DEI remains among leaders, but how they communicate that commitment is crucial. Firms are tempering their external messages while continuing to prioritize retention and attraction of diverse talent internally, seeking to navigate the complexities of the current political landscape without antagonizing authorities.
I think the question is less about how committed most law firms are to diversity and inclusion and more so how they frame their views and what words they use when talking about it internally and externally.
Law firm leaders I am advising are committed to the value of continuing to retain and attract diverse high-performing lawyers and leaders.
