The U.S. Federal Trade Commission said on Friday it had written to 42 law firms warning them about diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring, which it described as potentially unfair and anticompetitive.

The FTC letters were addressed to many of the country’s largest and most profitable firms. Three of them — Paul Weiss, WilmerHale and Perkins Coie — were targeted last year by Trump executive orders that threatened their business practices, citing in part their allegedly discriminatory hiring practices.

The FTC said all 42 firms participated in a program overseen by consultancy Diversity Lab that seeks to establish and boost gender and race employment practices in the legal profession. {snip}
Since 2017, Diversity Lab has offered a certification for law firms that ensure at least 30% of their candidates for leadership roles are underrepresented lawyers. The group has previously defended the legality of that program, citing a May 2025 ruling in which a federal judge found the certification does not establish hiring quotas or other discriminatory practices.
