Heritage, Leadership, and Justice: A Latina City Solicitor's Story

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, please join Buchanan’s Jason Bologna, for a conversation with Diana Cortes, City Solicitor and Chief Legal Officer for the City of Philadelphia. The two will discuss Cortes' trailblazing journey as a lawyer working in private practice to making history as the City of Philadelphia’s first-ever Latina City Solicitor.

While Hispanics account for more than 18% of the United States population, just 5.8% of our nation’s lawyers identify as Hispanic, and only 3% of General Counsels at Fortune 500 companies identify as Hispanic. Join us as we delve into the reasons behind this drastic gap and explore how the legal industry can become more accessible and inclusive to Hispanic professionals looking to embark on a legal career.
