The challenges of creating an inclusive work environment remain great. At this year’s Diversity and Inclusion program, a renowned faculty of practitioners, in-house counsel, diversity directors and related professionals will discuss recent legal developments that impact diversity, the current status of key diversity initiatives, recruiting practices, and the challenges and best practices for achieving a diverse workplace.
What you will learn:
- The legal landscape: recent legal developments that impact diversity , including discussion of United States v. Windsor; Hollingsworth v. Perry; Fisher v. University of Texas; Shelby County v. Holder; Ligon v. City of New York
- Recruiting practices, from law school to lateral partners; post-Fisher, is anything different?
- The corporate perspective on diversity and inclusion: what are the expectations and requirements for outside counsel? Recruitment and pipeline issues post-Fisher; talent development: what can law firms and law departments do together?
This program will be of great interest to all attorneys concerned about issues of inclusion in the workplace, including partners and associates, in-house counsel, diversity directors, and attorneys working in government or at nonprofit organizations.
