Curriculum
In addition to external learning programs, the firm’s internal curriculum is designed to give lawyers at every level the tools they need to contribute to creating an inclusive culture for all by being active allies for each other and managing matters and teams in an inclusive way.
For example, the firm offers:
- Allyship Series: Interactive workshops for lawyers at all levels designed to describe how to adapt small changes in behavior that make each person a better ally.
- Cultivating Belonging at Work: A workshop for summer associates on how they can enhance their own and others’ sense of belonging by understanding the power of small inclusive behaviors known as micro-inclusions. Over 90% of participants in the 2020 summer program said they were “likely to implement micro-inclusions in their day-to-day” as a result of the workshop.
- Managing Effectively Across Difference: A workshop designed to address the unique challenges faced by midlevel associates as they start to lead matters and have to distribute assignments and give feedback to those on their matters.
