Perkins Coie, a law firm with close ties to the Democratic Party, faced executive orders from the Trump administration, leading to a successful legal challenge that deemed one order unconstitutional. In response, the EEOC implicated Perkins in a broader narrative targeting diversity initiatives. Updates to the firm's website reflect emerging pressures, shifting away from branded diversity language. Despite cuts at other firms, Perkins preserves over 20 resource groups, indicating ongoing support for diversity, albeit with strategic adaptations.
After Perkins filed a scathing complaint, the court tossed the administration's executive order as unconstitutional.
The EEOC tagged Perkins as part of its attempt to recast any and all diversity initiatives as reverse discrimination.
Checking the Wayback Machine, Perkins had previously branded its outreach efforts as 'Diversity and Inclusion' so the addition of 'Opportunity' isn't just a cheap replacement for 'Equity'.
While other firms are slashing affinity groups, Perkins maintains over 20.
