How can your organization “get it right” on promoting diversity and inclusion throughout its ranks? Which tools can help your company foster a shared sense of mission and a culture that encourages teamwork among diverse groups while rewarding individual contributions? Hear from three leaders at Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP (BAL), an internationally recognized law firm ranked #1 on the National Law Journal’s Women in Law Scorecard (2019, 2020 and 2021) and #1 on The American Lawyer’s Diversity Scorecard (2020 and 2021)—in an industry that continues to struggle with diversity and female representation.
