Foley & Lardner LLP Director of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Alexis Robertson is quoted in the Bloomberg Law article, “Women, Minority Law Firm Gains Dampened by Litigation Threat,” offering insight on how the continued growth in representation for women and minorities in the legal industry is being impacted by litigation.
Law firms and other private employers are waiting to see how the latest anti-DEI workplace sentiments impact their talent pipeline and overall diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, explained Robertson.
“We are in a moment of a chilling effect,” Robertson said. “Firms are unsure what they can or can’t still do to make progress on their DEI efforts.”
