Please join us to hear the views of GCs from McKinsey and Mondelez and the former GC of Novartis on, among other things, the degree to which a law firm’s track record on diversity, equity and inclusion will either propel it or hinder it the near and medium term.
Our panelists will address these and other questions:
- Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) increasingly are factors in deciding which law firm a GC will engage. How do you assess whether a law firm is genuinely committed to DEI? What are the perils associated with a firm’s failure to make meaningful progress on the DEI front in the next year or two? The next five years? Will firms with a solid DEI track record continue to be rewarded with a larger percentage of your legal spend?
- What advice do you have for law firms that have mediocre records but aspire to do better? What are some best practices that you think they should consider adopting?
- Corporate legal departments worldwide also are striving to improve their DEI record. What changes are afoot, including changes in your own legal department?
