In the past, a stated commitment to diversity might have been enough. But clients, particularly large clients, increasingly are seeking evidence that a firm is putting their words into action, some firm leaders say.

I’m sorry Southern Law School isn’t as good as Tulane or LSU.

I know someone at a firm that tells me some of their large commercial clients are damn near demanding that they have more diversity or else they can't do business with them in the future.

So hire some unqualified tokens to frick up our future work or we can't be in business together.

Purely observational here but every white dude lawyer I know has money

They may be pricks, but they have money. I'd assume that comes from having clients

I work close to the PE field, and I can tell you a lot of foreign investors really, really care about ESG and similar type scores. Like leave even with insane IRR type care.

I try not to do business with any company that values diversity and equity over customer service and sustainability.

Because you don’t want a good lawyer…you want a black lawyer.

I’m sure that will help you sleep in prison

I agree with this. Have you ever tried to attract and retain a dead person? Only democrats can pull that off

When basic economics is tossed aside in favor of subjective data and fuzzy feelings, go figure we are battling high inflation and low economic growth. This will only get worse.

The owner reps at the refinery I'm currently working at include two lesbians, one homosexual dude (a&m grad no joke), one black dude, one foreign hard-core feminist chick,
and one regular white dude.
