ESG Co-chair Jennifer Rubin, Associate Nikki Rivers, and Member Louis Mercedes authored an article in Bloomberg Law discussing how recent executive orders on DEI bring particular risk for federal contractors in the context of mergers and acquisitions.

The authors write, “Risk is inherent in the M&A context. But the changing legal DEI paradigm, together with the turmoil associated with abrupt changes to long-standing assumptions about how workplaces operate, counsel consideration of these DEI issues in the M&A process to evaluate and allocate any risk exposure.”
