Louise Truong Quoted in Los Angeles Business Journal on Corporate Philanthropy and DEI Compliance
Louise Truong was quoted in the Los Angeles Business Journal’s August 4, 2025 article, “Corporate Philanthropy: Giving Change,” which examined how companies are adjusting their giving strategies amid heightened scrutiny of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Commenting on how organizations are navigating the evolving legal and political landscape, Truong noted that corporations are taking a proactive approach to ensure their philanthropic programs and DEI-related initiatives remain compliant while reflecting company culture and values.
From the article...
"Companies overall remain diligent and cautious. They’re 'evaluating, auditing (and) assessing their various initiatives and programs. They’re making sure that they’re not only legally compliant, but that they also are maintaining the culture and values of both the company, and their employees,' said Louise Truong, a partner at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP in Century City. 'And I think companies are understanding that they have to keep on revisiting these policies and programs as it is likely that there will be additional guidelines from government agencies and future court cases that will be addressing these issues.'"
