Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have become essential aspects of corporate culture and legal practice, shaping the way companies and law firms operate.  As the gatekeepers of legal services, in-house attorneys have a unique opportunity to advance DEI principles both within their organizations and in their collaboration with outside counsel.  By leveraging their influence and fostering an environment of openness and understanding, in-house attorneys can lead the charge in promoting DEI in the workplace and legal profession.  

This panel will discuss the various ways in-house counsel attorneys can work towards improving DEI within their companies and with their outside firms.
