Our Story
For more than 35 years, our team of experienced analysts and consultants have partnered with employers of all sizes and across all industries to help them proactively identify, assess, and mitigate their employment discrimination risks and to ensure they have strong civil rights compliance programs in place.
From our founding as the consulting company affiliate of a Washington, DC law firm, and the consulting partner to the nation’s leading nonprofit workplace compliance association, we’ve grown to become one of the largest consulting firms providing enterprise risk-management and anti-discrimination solutions.
How did we get here? By consistently delivering the expertise, perspective, flexibility, and service our clients expect.
