Trump’s DEI policies can’t affect UK legal firms? Think again

Since his election the US president has pursued a narrative attacking DEI policies, often known as EDI in the UK. ‘Equity’ has become a prerogative term with the president signing an executive order on his first day in office terminating ‘equity-related’ grants or contracts. This ‘prompted’ global companies such as Meta, Amazon, McDonald’s and Ford to terminate their DEI practices. The US administration is committed to ending discrimination through DEI policies, claiming those operating ‘blatant race-based and sex-based discrimination’, including quotas, violate public trust.
