Racial Justice and Equity: A Year of Purposeful Investment

RACIAL JUSTICE AND EQUITY | 32 LONDON RECRUITING To further the London office’s commitment to recruiting diverse talent, the office HR team has been working with the Diversity Committee to establish a Diversity and Inclusion Recruitment Charter that sets out certain key goals and principles to which the London office’s external recruitment agencies should adhere. These principles include maintaining a diversity and inclusion policy, providing diverse shortlists of candidates, and ensuring that job advertisements are accessible across a wide range of platforms, among other initiatives. More than 10 recruitment agencies have already signed the charter. STAFF RECRUITING In 2021, Weil joined the Professional Diversity Network, the top diversity recruiting platform in the U.S., to identify diverse talent for open staff roles. In the last year, we have continued to see devastating acts of racial hatred, including the massacre in Buffalo, New York and the ongoing hate crimes against Asian Americans and others throughout the United States. As attorneys, we have an obligation to do all we can to help others secure the promise of living in peace and safety in their homes, neighborhoods, and schools. And I am proud of the resources we as a law firm have dedicated to our pro bono clients, particularly on issues of racial justice. Chantale Fiebig Litigation partner Washington, D.C.
