    Affirmative Action & Diversity

    Nixon Peabody helps government contractors with affirmative action obligations and private companies seeking to voluntarily promote and celebrate workplace diversity.

    /Overview

    It’s no secret that affirmative action and diversity remain hotly debated topics—legally, in society at-large and in the workplace. But for government contractors seeking compliance with affirmative action laws and for employers who want their workforces to truly reflect America today, knowing what legal and regulatory pitfalls to avoid is critical.

    Government contractors and subcontractors are faced with complex affirmative action tracking requirements, costly compliance reviews, and OFCCP enforcement actions. At the same time, historic surges in discrimination claims have forced employers to take steps to create affirmative action plans and pro-diversity policies that are defensible, compliant, and sustainable.

    We help clients navigate this challenging terrain by developing plans, policies, and initiatives that comply while adhering to the needs of your business. These initiatives ensure compliance with affirmative action laws while remaining attuned to the unique needs and goals of your business. Our seasoned affirmative action lawyers possess the knowledge and experience to navigate these complex issues effectively.
