How to Build a Diversity Initiative in Support of ABA Resolution 113
Our panel of industry experts and a legal department executive will discuss specific ways to champion a diversity initiative, including: establishing guidelines and expectations, communicating with outside counsel, building and evaluating a law firm panel that meets diversity goals, and communicating progress to internal stakeholders. With so many departments using e-billing systems today, it is easy to track work performed in hours and dollars down to the timekeeper level (instead of looking at firm ownership alone). Diversity information can be reported on and used to demonstrate contributions to the corporate goals, create targets for improvement, and to initiate meaningful conversations with firms about hiring and staffing practices. This session will offer a facilitated discussion on the potential pitfalls, and ethical, legal, and privacy issues associated with building a diversity initiative. Finally, this session will propose a specific process for asking for, capturing, and reporting on the timekeeper information gathered.
