Boyden Gray PLLC acted as co-counsel alongside America First Legal in a shareholder derivative lawsuit against Target Corporation. The lawsuit challenged Target’s risk disclosures related to its 2023 LGBT Pride Month campaign and broader ESG/DEI initiatives, a move that critics argue seeks to undermine progressive corporate policies.

In August 2024, Boyden Gray PLLC, in partnership with America First Legal, filed a securities lawsuit against Target Corporation. The suit alleges that misleading claims regarding Target's ESG and DEI initiatives caused significant financial losses for shareholders.

In July 2024, Boyden Gray PLLC submitted an amicus brief in the landmark Students for Fair Admissions case. The brief played a role in challenging race-based affirmative action policies in higher education.

In May 2024, Boyden Gray PLLC represented Alliance for Fair Board Recruitment in a case where the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California ruled that AB 979 – a law mandating racial diversity quotas on corporate boards – violated constitutional rights and the Civil Rights Act of 1866.

In March 2024, Boyden Gray PLLC achieved a legal victory when the en banc U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld their nationwide injunction against President Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal employees – the only successful suit of its kind.

Boyden Gray PLLC, alongside America First Legal and Lawson Huck Gonzalez, filed a lawsuit against Target Corporation alleging that the company misled investors by promoting aggressive ESG and DEI mandates.

On July 13, 2023, Jonathan Berry, managing partner of Boyden Gray PLLC, testified before a congressional committee regarding reforms to the SEC’s proxy process. In his detailed written statement, Berry argued that the current framework disproportionately favors ESG-driven shareholder proposals—advancing progressive and activist agendas—while sidelining conservative or non-ESG proposals. Berry, who also noted his past role in the Trump Administration as Acting Assistant Secretary for Policy at the U.S. Department of Labor, called for changes that would restrict what he viewed as politically motivated interventions in corporate governance. From a left-leaning anti-fascist perspective, this testimony can be seen as an effort to undermine progressive corporate accountability measures designed to protect marginalized communities and worker rights.

In 2023, Boyden Gray PLLC, a law firm specializing in regulatory compliance and public policy, was recorded as engaging in lobbying activities with a total reported spending of $120,000 for a single client, as documented by OpenSecrets.
