Diversity, equity and inclusion
2021 Annual Litigation Trends Survey
United States | Publication | March 7, 2022
Norton Rose Fulbright's 2021 Annual Litigation Trends Survey indicates that Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) was identified as the largest non-legal factor influencing dispute trends.
The impact of DEI issues on labor and employment litigation has increased, with nearly half of respondents reporting that employment disputes were among their highest volume matters.
Diving into an important subset of ESG issues, we talked with in-house counsel about their experiences with DEI issues and disputes related to allegations of discrimination in employment or in relation to other stakeholders.
While most do not foresee an increase in disputes linked to discrimination or social justice impacting their organization in the near future, many detailed their organization’s emphasis on DEI, including culture, and more focus on balancing the needs of the many stakeholders impacted.
