There has been a significant rise in demand for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) legal specialists in the corporate sector, particularly among Fortune 500 companies. Companies are actively seeking these specialists to reevaluate and adapt their DEI programs in light of recent legal developments and societal pressures. The number of companies requesting audits and legal advice is increasing to ensure their DEI initiatives align with evolving legal standards while minimising litigation risks. Companies face a dual challenge of addressing backlash against DEI initiatives whilst adapting to an uncertain legal landscape, underscoring the need for transparent and legally sound DEI policies and processes.

Notably 66% of the respondents to the IP STARS-specific survey indicated that DEI is *crucial* when picking an external counsel. It well-established that DEI is an important aspect of modern business and there are a huge number of resources covering the advantages of diversity including: - Better opportunities for creativity and problem-solving - Smarter decision-making - An increase in profits and productivity - Reduced rates of employee turnover - Improved reputation for your business Working towards a clear and effective DEI policy and culture within your IP firm is not only the right thing to do, but the business case is growing within the industry such that firms who don't adopt this approach might be left behind. #diversityandinclusion #DEI #intellectualproperty

Diversity in the workplace is generally seen as a positive attribute, contributing to innovation, creativity, and overall organizational success. However, some legal risks have general counsels on high alert and, at times, create division between chief diversity officers and chief legal officers. Despite some highly vocal backlash, most CEOs and diversity officers say their companies have not pulled back on their prioritization of DEI. Still, they cite concerns over legal liability and increased collaboration with and oversight from their general counsels. According to a survey from Littler, organizations are reverting to more straightforward initiatives such as implicit bias training and other educational resources, which, while they can be useful, are not always as effective in driving immediate and patent progress.
