Andrew Turnbull spoke with Law360 about the challenges companies face in navigating the current landscape of DEI programs. He noted that companies are assessing whether they face real litigation risks or merely threats, and highlighted that many organizations still believe in the underlying values of diversity and equal employment. Andrew stated, "Some of that is not really changing the programs, it's just changing the terminology of how you describe the work that you're doing." He emphasized the importance of companies being precise in describing their programs to avoid potential liabilities.
