DEI initiatives are generally used to address the lack of diversity in the workplace or in limited/select enrollment programming and provide more equitable processes and procedures related to hiring, retention, program offerings, admissions, and outcomes. While diversity and equity initiatives have become an essential part of many institutions and businesses’ operations, they are facing an increasing number of challenges to their legality.

Our attorneys at Robbins Schwartz are able to provide an expert review and assessment of any DEI initiatives, written or unwritten, that will help minimize the risks associated with diversity and equity priorities and put institutions in a better position to defend and prevail over any legal challenges to those initiatives.

Our DEI practice was developed to assist and guide employers and educators on compliance with the various laws and regulations around equity and diversity initiatives. We are well positioned to provide comprehensive and expert advice regarding compliance reviews, audits, responses to challenges, and employee training.
