Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLP) is set to reassess its diversity and inclusion strategies amidst heightened scrutiny of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs by U.S. federal regulators. The firm has recently informed its lawyers during a town hall meeting about changes to its website concerning diversity and inclusion.

This move comes as part of a broader environment where law firms are facing increased federal examination on their DEI initiatives. For more on this developing story, refer to the full article on Law.com, although the article is behind a paywall.
