Amidst the tempestuous seas of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison LLP dropped a bombshell this Wednesday. They unveiled their new DEI Strategic Advisory practice. This monumental initiative targets aiding corporations in their voyage across what the firm dubs an “escalating complex legal battlefield.”
The plot thickens post the U.S. Supreme Court’s seismic verdict this June, which obliterated affirmative action admissions policies in higher education. Such a ruling not only sent shockwaves through academia but also resonated thunderously across the workforce’s vast expanse.
