Retail Roundtable: Strategies for Mitigating Bias and Enhancing Diversity in Legal
When:
October 21
1:30 p.m. — 2:20 p.m.
About:
Mitigating bias and enhancing diversity in the legal profession have long been goals of many corporate legal departments and their outside counsel partners; but true change has been difficult to achieve. Build off of the day’s opening keynote and discuss what you learned from the session and the ideas that you have in a small group of your peers.
Retail Roundtables are your chance to explore this challenging issue with your colleagues across the retail industry. Roundtables will be conducted under the Chatham House Rule, co-moderated by leading corporate and outside counsel (see below), and limited to 15 in-house counsel to facilitate a meaningful conversation on this important topic.

- Samantha Grant, Partner, Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP
