In both law firms and other businesses, the conversation around
organisational diversity is in many ways more fervent, active, and
engaged than ever before. Prominent figures in the profession make
bold declarations about their belief in the positive contribution
increased diversity brings, and firm websites are not considered
complete without a visible commitment to improve their inclusivity.
It would seem that everyone is aware of the problem, and is
vociferous about their attempts to tackle it. However, the numbers
show that the needle is barely moving. The legal profession appears
to be stuck at the point of discussion, and the measures that have
thus far been implemented - which typically include token changes
in company policy and written charters and agreements - can more
resemble posturing than steps to achieve real change. The
challenge, then, for any law firm which recognizes that diversity
is a force for innovation and seeks to genuinely make a change, is
finding those actions that do make an obvious and measurable
difference. What can be done, and where does one find the practical
advice needed to instigate the change? Packed with constructive
guidance and compelling insight from industry experts and thought
leaders, The Diversity Agenda: Lessons and Guidance from the Legal
Profession seeks to provide the answer to these questions. Moving
past the identification of an obvious problem, this book will
instead offer effective solutions to those endeavoring to maximize
their firm's potential through the benefits diversification can
bring. The Diversity Agenda: Lessons and Guidance from the Legal
Profession aims to supply a unique perspective from authors who
have experienced institutional challenges and obstacles, providing
proactive steps to take in order to negotiate them. Expert advice
is also supplemented by real-world examples of pragmatic, effective
and award-winning diversity initiatives that are being pioneered by
both international and regional law firms.
