Philadelphia firm leaders on Thursday recommended firms rattled by the recent lawsuits against Perkins Coie and Morrison & Foerster for their DEI programs await the results of the cases before making changes to their own DEI initiatives.
Approximately 60 attorneys and legal professionals gathered online Thursday for the course, held by the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Office of Diversity and the Barristers’ Association of Philadelphia, which featured chief DEI officers from Ballard Spahr and Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney as well as two University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School professors discussing the future of law firm DEI efforts.
