Starting with ABA Resolution 113 in 2016 through the civil unrest of 2020, corporate law departments today are even more acutely focused on the diversity of their outside counsel, and they expect their law firms to support corporate diversity initiatives. It starts with measuring and reporting law firm diversity but leads to the improvement of law firm diversity. To achieve diversity goals, law departments and law firms must work collaboratively to understand corporate expectations and create strategies for firms to meet those expectations. This panel of experts will lead an interactive discussion on how corporations are measuring, tracking, and reporting on the diversity of their outside counsel, and how they are using that information to measure firm performance and help their law firms succeed in improving diversity.
