Beyond Bias: Strategies for Inclusive Legal Leadership

Lawyers are leaders in society and the workplace. As leaders, lawyers must ensure they create a workplace environment that is both productive and inclusive. 

The way attorneys work has shifted. Technology, the hybrid workplace, the emergence of AI, and law firm growth rates are just a few ways that the legal profession has changed over the past few decades.
