A Message From the Editor

Just because President Trump has put DEI in the crosshairs doesn't mean law firm leaders are backing away from efforts to attract and retain diverse top talent. However, according to our firm item today, firm leaders are making adjustments to avoid becoming targets of federal agencies. Our first item has details. Also, defendants in the Ozempic MDL are looking to pare down the claims.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
