Latham & Watkins, Hogan Lovells Remove DEI Content Amid Federal Inquiry into Employment Practices

Latham & Watkins and Hogan Lovells are under scrutiny as they recently removed content related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from their websites. This action follows a federal agency’s inquiry, which contacted the two firms—along with 18 other law firms—demanding information about their DEI employment practices. The involvement of the federal agency highlights the ongoing review of such practices in the legal industry. The removed materials included references to disability, LGBTQ+, and institutional racism, signaling a shift in response to regulatory pressure.
