Law is one of the most relational and least diverse professions in the country. Legal marketers are in a strategic position to impact their firm’s diverse culture and the success of diverse attorneys in a meaningful way. This isn’t your law firm’s diversity training – which all too often leaves the diverse frustrated with the lack of progress and the OWL’s^(tm) (Old White Leaders) feeling blamed.

Participants will discuss how marketers can help firms address and overcome the challenges of attracting, championing, and retaining diverse talent.
