Law360 Publishes Article by Dawn Solowey and Michael Steinberg on EEOC’s Heightened Focus on Religious Accommodations

Law360 featured an article by partners Dawn Solowey and Michael Steinberg, “Flashpoints In Focus: Navigating EEOC’s Religious Bias Push.” The piece, published on April 30, 2026, examines the evolving risk landscape for employers as the EEOC intensifies its focus on religious accommodations in the workplace.

The article highlights recent EEOC enforcement activity, including litigation centered on scheduling and other accommodation requests, and offers practical guidance for employers seeking to build compliant, consistent, and defensible religious accommodation programs. Solowey and Steinberg outline key policy, training, and process considerations to help organizations reduce litigation risk while supporting a culture of inclusion.

As the authors note:

“With modest, but strategic, investments in time and planning, any employer can build a compliant religious accommodations program that contributes to a culture of belonging for employees of any or no faith, while reducing the chance of litigation and providing strong defenses in the event of any lawsuit.”
