Legal DEI Strategies
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in today's workplace has been the subject of intense scrutiny since January 2025. Executive Order 14173 eliminated affirmative action obligations for federal contractors, revoking Executive Order 11246 and requiring contractors to certify they do not operate "illegal" DEI programs. Executive Order 14173 also targeted DEI activities in major corporations, financial institutions, higher education, and other influential institutions, declaring them "illegal" and undermining federal civil rights laws.
BLJohnsonLaw has the experience needed to assist employers in navigating these uncharted waters. We help employers develop strategies for attracting and retaining a diverse and inclusive workplace and complying with the law.
