Bloomberg BNA will present a live conference titled Big Law Business Diversity & Inclusion Conference: A Call to Action, the third in the series of Diversity & Inclusion events, where Big Law Business will begin to take the next steps toward driving results and holding our profession accountable for progress.
The event will be on Tuesday, May 3, 2016 in New York, NY, beginning at 2:30 p.m. EDT and ending with an hour-long reception at 5:30 p.m. It will be at the Harold Pratt House at 58 East 68th Street. General Counsel News readers may attend at no charge. (Registration form)
General counsel and their legal teams play a unique and important role in the conversation regarding Diversity & Inclusion in the legal profession – as the buyside of legal services, they are well-positioned to drive and influence the quality of legal services they receive. They are also currently moving more legal work in-house and the department’s ability to ensure diversity of ideas and thought leadership within their own teams is critical.
During this exclusive event, Big Law Business will convene chief legal counsel and their corporate senior diversity officers as well as law firm managing partners to focus on actionable results, accountability, and drive movement forward toward diversity in the legal profession.
The event is an opportunity to explore the success Big Law practices are having meeting their own workforce diversification goals, plus:
- Interviews and presentations on best practice
- Methods law schools, law firms, and the judiciary can utilize to collaborate to feed the in-house pipeline
- Ideas to take back to legal departments for immediate and long-term action
The conference agenda is available online.
