Inclusion, Equity and Diversity

Get Comprehensive Business Consultation on DEI (Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity)

Under the prevailing socio-economic circumstances, DEI has to be a standard norm for organizational values. DEI refers to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. These relate to measures and programs aimed at providing day-to-day assistance to deserving employees to realize their potential. The policy addresses issues related to race, gender, and sexual orientation to ensure that employees from such minority backgrounds prosper at work. At Mijares Law, I offer legally-backed law consultation to businesses that want to engage in DEI practices while sidestepping potential legal issues.

Consequences of Ignoring DEI Policies

Because of the politicization of ESG in the US, there is increased litigation risk in ESG-related lawsuits, especially those with an emphasis on DEI. Failure to adhere to DEI principles brings about different legal consequences, as presented below.

  • Tort claims that are brought due to discrimination entail serious fines and legal costs.
  • Regulatory measures, fines, and revocation of business licenses.
  • Stigma arising from discriminative activities
  • Damage to the brand image and core clientele.
  • Decreased motivation, higher absent rates, and problems of staffing shortage.
  • Lack of employee commitment and productivity.

29 ESG-related complaints have been filed in the US federal courts in 2023 and Q1 of 2024, with 22 of them having to do with employment and diversity, equity, and inclusion. This trend indicates that the focus is being shifted to DEI commitments by corporations. Thus, organizations need to achieve compliance and provide DEI business case ends.

Kristin did a great job in helping me understand a very complicated legal issue. She also advised me, beyond the scope of the issue, on business law matters in general. I would recommend her to anyone facing a confusing legal problem with their business.

Case Studies

Oil & Gas Executive

A company executive had to take several days of medical leave after his son suddenly fell ill. However, while on leave, his company suddenly fired him, claiming his work had recently been sub-par. The company’s excuse that they had not illegally infringed on his protected medical leave did not hold water, and it chose to instead offer a settlement not long after the case was filed.

Human Resources/Service Industry

A store clerk needed several weeks of medical leave after she suffered complications following a routine surgery. When she was due to return to work, her employer fired her, alleging she had failed to submit the required paperwork to ensure her medical leave was “protected.” Kristin Mijares filed suit for retaliation and wrongful termination and negotiated a substantial settlement for the clerk’s damages and emotional distress.
