Solving client problems requires the strengths of a diverse and knowledgeable team. When Morgan Lewis client teams are formed, diversity is just as essential a consideration as industry experience, cost-conscious staffing, and personal chemistry. Improving diversity infuses every firm activity—from recruiting and retention to human resource policymaking, practice development, and community outreach.
In on-campus and lateral hiring, diversity is an imperative. We work hard to develop relationships with law schools, governmental organizations, and undergraduate schools to increase the diversity in our recruitment pool.
The firm hosts an Attorney of Color Meeting, bringing together firm leaders, partners, associates, and senior management to discuss diversity as it relates to daily life at the firm and to our clients' needs. The most recent meeting focused on topics such as enhancing diversity; forging relationships to network and enhance careers; and balancing work, community, and personal expectations. A participant from a minority bar association commended us for the quality and depth of the program. View images from the recent Attorney of Color Meeting.
