The value
The business case for diversity, equity and inclusion (“DE&I”) is clear: teams with diverse experiences perform better, clients and juries expect to see diverse teams, top attorneys favor firms with strong DE&I cultures and DE&I promotes a more engaged, positive workplace. Realizing DE&I values, however, often involves organization-wide change.
The process
Our team of expert consultants works with firm leadership — and potentially stakeholders at all levels — to assess your current landscape and develop a unique DE&I framework rooted in your culture and responsive to the needs of leadership, attorneys and professional staff.

The value
Hybrid environments and greater flexibility with remote work is here to stay. To remain competitive, firms integrate robust hybrid opportunities into the fabric of their work processes. Strong remote programs can also vastly increase a firm’s talent pool, promote DE&I and foster better work-life balance and attorney wellbeing.
The process
Guided by firm leadership and working with stakeholders, our senior consultants evaluate current practices, identifying those that are performing well and pinpointing high-value opportunities for improvement. We then craft a framework customized to the firm’s needs and aspirations, including processes, technology, and culture shift.

The value
Ensuring the right leadership team components are in place — especially in today’s rapidly evolving industry — is of surpassing strategic importance. Yet law firms, offices, and practice groups can grow by accretion, rather than by design. With intentional design choices, leaders position themselves to exceed existing goals while reacting nimbly to shifting conditions.
The process
In consultation with firm leaders, our experienced team assesses the leadership team structure of a firm, practice group, department or office, then recommends opportunities for optimization. If new roles are needed, we can assist with drafting job descriptions, recruiting, hiring and sourcing interim consultants.
