White & Case Ends Diversity Initiatives, Shifts Focus to Professional Skills Development

White & Case has announced the discontinuation of its diversity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The firm is aligning with a broader trend among law firms responding to shifts influenced by the Trump administration’s actions on DEI policies. Instead of focusing on DEI, White & Case plans to implement a new program that emphasizes professional skills training and engagement for its non-partner legal and business staff, aiming to enhance the overall competencies within the firm.
