DESCRIPTION
How to Maintain A Diverse Legal Workforce and Eliminate Bias, In Any Economic Environment
Our personal brands make us unique as lawyers. They also create an environment where conflict reigns and diversity is lacking if the personal brand distinctions are not clarified and harnessed well. The result is a happier workforce, collaborative work environment, maximum efficiency and better attorney-client relationships and attorney- attorney relationships.

- the shocking connection between diversified legal environments that actively seek to eliminate bias and attorney-client/attorney-attorney relationships
- how you can have a corporate legal culture that mitigates business risk AND still drives creativity and innovation- of employees and the law firm brand
