Small Firm, Big Impact: Diversity & Inclusion for the Solo/Small Firm Litigator
ABA Section of Litigation
Solo & Small Firm Committee
Diversity & Inclusion Committee
Thursday, August 06, 2020
10:00-11:00 AM PT | 11:00 AM-12:00 PM MT |
12:00-1:00 PM CT | 1:00-2:00 PM ET
Program Description:
Solo practitioners and small firms comprise the majority of the legal profession. So, even as BigLaw and global corporations are being increasingly vocal about their diversity spend, a large sector of the legal profession may be missing out on the benefits of a diverse workforce. Join us for a conversation on D&I trends in litigation, the benefits of diversity to a solo or small firm practice, how to attract and foster diversity, and approaches solo and small firm litigators can use to implement and/or improve their inclusion initiatives.
Panelists:
Amy Stewart, Stewart Law Group
Emily Ambrose, Blackwell Burke
Levina Wong, Veson Nautical
