Dimensions of Diversity: Direct Conversations: What is Needed from Legal Departments and Law Firms to Advance Diversity & Inclusion

On the front-end of this two-part series of Dimensions of Diversity, host Lloyd Freeman is joined by returning guest Conway Ekpo, a lawyer who has spent half his career in Big Law and shifted to a role in-house at a major corporation. Ekpo is an adjunct law professor and a frequent speaker/writer on diversity in the legal profession.

The pair discuss who is doing the best work actively supporting DEI in the profession. Ekpo describes some best practices for in-house lawyers to create more DEI opportunities within the profession and questions to ask to ensure there is a commitment to DEI. The first part of the series concludes with Ekpo detailing what law firms can do to stand out and attract talent from underrepresented groups.
