In Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard & UNC, the Supreme Court held that race-conscious admissions policies fail strict scrutiny and thus violate the Equal Protection Clause and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. While the opinion was limited to higher education, the Court’s analysis has emboldened legal advocacy groups to challenge race-conscious decision-making in other contexts, including corporate DEI programs. As the first anniversary of the decision approaches, we examine recent legal developments related to corporate DEI efforts and offer considerations for companies that wish to assess their DEI programs, understand their legal exposure, and implement mitigation strategies. https://bit.ly/4cCK7YY

Fostering meaningful connections and enhancing personal well-being was a key point in our summer associate program kickoff. More than 125 summer associates from across the US joined firm leaders to go deep into topics on holistic professional wellness, including a discussion led by Chief Engagement Officer Amanda Smith. Together they learned about our dedication to well-being, giving back, and creating belonging within our firm. From these insightful panels to fun moments bowling at Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia and cheering on the Philadelphia Phillies, the program kickoff was informative and allowed associates to interact with our lawyers and each other. #MLSummerSquad
