In a Financial Times article, the growing success of conservative legal challenges against US companies' DEI and ESG initiatives is discussed. Recent rulings include a judge rejecting Boeing's settlement over DEI considerations, a lawsuit against American Airlines for including BlackRock index funds in its pension scheme, and a case against Target for not warning shareholders about DEI and ESG risks. Rob Skinner, securities litigation partner, was quoted expressing caution over this trend and noting that other judges could follow suit.
