The legal landscape around diversity, equity, and inclusion has shifted significantly in the wake of several significant judicial opinions. While the legal profession has been notoriously slow to make progress in its efforts to nurture more inclusive practice environments, our guests share their unwavering optimism about the advancement of inclusion in the profession. They delve into the data that demonstrate the importance of equity to various stakeholders in the corporate legal services market, and also discuss why mentorship is so essential in driving change from within.

Join guests Shelley Smith of Archer & Greiner, P.C., and Caren Stacy of Diversity Lab as we push past the headlines and explore the roles of creativity, innovation, and relentless advocacy in shaping a more equitable future for law.
