What is LCLD?

In 2009 a coalition of general counsels came together to form an organization driven to accelerate diversity and inclusion in the legal profession: the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD).  The organization is now comprised of 300 organizational members and has nationwide reach. More than 2,000 individual lawyers and law students have participated in its programs and are members of its alumni groups. LCLD, its members, and its alumni are now creating impact at-scale.

This event was produced by Makalika Naholowa’a (LCLD 2015, Head of Trademarks at Microsoft Corporation) Bonnie Lau (LCLD 2013, Partner at Dentons), and Erin Hess (Programs Manager at Leadership Council on Legal Diversity) in partnership with Stephanie Stephens (LCLD 2013, Shareholder at Lane Powell).
