RACIAL JUSTICE AND EQUITY | 6 RACIAL JUSTICE AND EQUITY | ADVISORY BOARDS In 2021, Executive Partner Barry Wolf convened the Black Partner Advisory Board and the Black Associate/Counsel Advisory Board to advise him on important Firm matters, including but not limited to diversity, and to provide visibility and mentoring from senior leadership. The partner board is composed of all nine Black partners in the U.S. and London offices. Eight associate and counsel members were selected by the partner group to represent a range of departments and offices. The monthly meetings have tackled a wide range of topics, from creating individual business plans to engaging white colleagues as active allies. Several new initiatives were developed based on feedback from the boards, including Jumpstart mentors for new Black attorneys, the Firm Citizenship hours credit, and the Diversity in the Day to Day campaign. FOR THE FIRM In response to the racial reckoning of 2020, the Diversity Committee, in concert with Firm Leadership, amplified and expanded longstanding efforts to cultivate an inclusive and equitable culture.
