DLA Piper recently celebrated a significant $4 billion revenue milestone, as reported by American Lawyer. However, the firm continues to grapple with criticism due to its decision to remove attorneys' pronouns from email signatures and eliminate affiliation groups. The firm’s global co-chair, Frank Ryan, addressed these controversies, pointing out that while the interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act hasn't changed, there is a divergence in how it is enforced. This has caused concern regarding the firm's evolving workplace environment, aiming to redirect attention back to the revenue success while coping with backlash.
While Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 hasn't changed, the way the law is interpreted and enforced has. Firms need to be mindful of that.
DLA Piper seems to prefer focus on its $4 billion revenue rather than its troubling actions regarding attorney pronouns and affinity groups.
