Partners Emily Loeb and Joanna Ludlam spoke with Law.com International in an article discussing corporate DEI, compliance, and governance and culture in the US and UK and how it has diverged under President Donald Trump.
The Q&A, Emily and Jo discussed potential increases in UK public inquiry work, how regulatory and cultural differences between the US and UK impact corporate DEI strategies, and more.
“The situation in the US is in flux right now—we’re in a period of significant change, particularly in how the federal government is interpreting case law. It remains a highly dynamic landscape, and I’d be interested in Jo’s perspective on how things compare on the UK side,” Emily said in the article.
"I do think it would be interesting to see whether the values that corporate organisations have upheld for so long will truly change as a result of the Trump administration's efforts, or if, in fact, there is a consistency in those values, but they're simply being presented in a different way,” Joanna said.
