Attorney Spotlight – Get to Know Robert B. Kearney Open Attorney Spotlight Open December 3, 2024 3 minutes read Sequor Law 1. What inspired you to pursue a law career? My dad was a small-town doctor. It was really important to him to help people in his community to—literally—get back on their feet. His role as a healer was more than a vocation to him; it was his identity and his calling. When I was in middle school, he was wrongfully forced out of the clinic he had helped build. The excuse the clinic provided was that he could no longer provide adequate care. Although the termination itself was certainly alarming, he was completely heartbroken by the insinuation that he ever provided anything other than the highest standard of care. That insinuation tarnished his very understanding of himself, I think. It truly changed him for a long time. Eventually, he filed a lawsuit against his former clinic and, when I was in college, he won, receiving some backpay for the wrongful termination. What mattered most to him, however, was that a jury of his peers had sat down and certified, after weeks of testimony, that his termination had nothing to do with his ability to heal. It really gave him back to us, in a lot of ways. I think that was the first time I really appreciated that the ability of the law to make someone whole is something more than an arithmetic exercise in compensation. Until then, I had primarily been looking at a career in consulting or finance, but that experience really drew me to the law. 2. Why did you choose the areas of law that you practice? It goes without saying that the ethos of this practice area is in line with what initially drew me to the law. Beyond that, however, I thrive on complexity. I truly enjoy unraveling and solving a difficult problem with a lot of variables, and I think that’s part of what drew me to insolvency and asset recovery. For example, I chose my bankruptcy clerkship over a district court offer because I had been tracking developments in the law and was fascinated by its breadth and the tools it offered. 3. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? Several past employers have commented on my ability to work through immense amounts of information relatively quickly and synthesize it into a story. I think that’s my primary skill and the one that I’ve found most useful here. It works for legal aspects of this practice area, as well as the complex factual situations we often encounter. 4. What is the most rewarding part about your job? So far, it’s the fact that I get to go to sleep every night knowing that I’m helping people be made whole. They say the arc of the universe bends towards justice; it’s nice to imagine I’m putting my own tiny amount of force into pushing that arc in the right direction. 5. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career. I had several professors in law school that encouraged me to pursue what I was interested in, beyond the standard law school path. I also had two outstanding judges, Judge Erik Atas in the Maryland Circuit Court for Baltimore City and Judge James Tancredi in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut, that pushed me to think creatively, learn to be better every day, and gave me incredible advice on so much more than my legal career. It feels like an injustice to name only one. 6. If you weren’t practicing law, what would you be doing? Probably working in consulting. That was my original path, but I’m not sure how much my heart was really in it. I prefer to imagine I’d be a history professor, but I don’t think I would have actually gone that route. 7. What might people be surprised to learn about you? I am a huge outdoorsman. I used to be a certified Wilderness First Responder and lifeguard, but I let those lapse a few years ago. It feels very surreal, I’m sure, to imagine anyone you have met in a suit standing up to their knees in a bog with a canoe on their back in the Canadian wilderness. 8. What is a good book or article you read recently? My favorite book I’ve read in the last few years is probably “The Last Stand of the Tin Can Soldiers” by James D. Hornfischer, which is a fantastic book for World War II history buffs. I’m currently reading “Chip War” by Chris Miller, which is a captivating narrative of the growth of semiconductors and their importance to geopolitics.

Get to know Sequor Law Attorney Miguel E. Del Rivero, who shares his passion for helping fraud victims, his global approach to asset recovery, and his path into international litigation. Attorney Spotlight – Get to Know Miguel E. Del Rivero Open Attorney Spotlight Open January 21, 2025 2 minutes read Sequor Law 1. What inspired you to pursue a law career? At my core, I have a passion for helping others, and at an early age I began to view the law as a powerful tool for doing so. I realized how daunting and intimidating the legal system can be, and I recognized the challenges individuals face when trying to advocate for themselves in such a complex and ever-evolving landscape. This inspired me to pursue a career as a resource for others—someone who can navigate the intricacies of the law with confidence. 2. Why did you choose the areas of law that you practice? I was drawn to my practice area for a couple reasons. It gives me the chance to do work that truly matters, which is helping people who have been wronged, and helping them receive justice is deeply rewarding. Also, I love the global nature of the work. Collaborating with individuals and clients from all over the world is something I never imagined would be a part of my career, and it is an opportunity I’m incredibly grateful for. 3. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? An emphasis on diligence has always been a guiding principle in my work. I firmly believe that the harder you work, the luckier you become. This means approaching every problem with thoroughness and methodical precision. By staying consistent and meticulous, I ensure that every detail is considered, and every potential solution is explored. Through this, it not only enhances the quality of my work but also increases the likelihood of success. 4. What is the most rewarding part about your job? One of the most fulfilling parts of my job is knowing that the work I do has a positive impact. Whether it’s helping someone seek justice or resolving a complex issue affecting their life, I’m driven by the knowledge that my efforts have a tangible impact on people’s lives. It’s what gets me out of bed in the morning and pushes me to do my best. 5. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career. I’ve been incredibly lucky to have had two fantastic mentors early in my career: the Judges for whom I clerked for. Both exemplified a strong work ethic, yet they were generous with their time and guidance to help me grow as a young lawyer. They shaped how I think about the law and the kind of lawyer I want to be. 6. If you weren’t practicing law, what would you be doing? If I hadn’t gone into law, I might have gone into accounting. 7. What might people be surprised to learn about you? It might surprise people to know that I used to compete in chess at a national level, winning several tournaments. 8. What is a good book or article you read recently? A book I always find myself returning to is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It’s one of those books no matter how many times you read it, you keep returning to it. I even keep a copy of it in my office.

An Australian court recognised CP Legal partner Carlos Parada Abate as liquidator and foreign representative of Alberto Chang Rajii under Australia’s Cross-Border Insolvency Act, building on earlier recognition decisions in Florida, the UK and Isle of Man and Chapter 15 recognition of the Onix proceedings. Chilean liquidator in alleged Ponzi case recognised in Australia Open In the News Open February 13, 2018 3 minutes read Sequor Law By Douglas Thomson An Australian court has become the latest to recognise Chilean liquidation proceedings in what is alleged to be the South American state’s first major Ponzi scheme dismantling, following courts in the US, UK and Isle of Man. JusticeJacqueline Gleeson at the Federal Court of Australia’s New South Wales registry in Sydney recognised CP Legal partner Carlos Parada Abate as liquidator and foreign representative of the estate of Chilean businessman Alberto Chang Rajii, under Australia’s Cross-Border Insolvency Act in a ruling on 29 January. She also recognised proceedings to liquidate Chang’s assets before the 15 th Civil Court of Santiago as a foreign main proceeding under the Australia’s embodiment of the UNCITRAL Model Law. The court followed up with a notice to creditors on 2 February. The recognitions follow a trio of similar decisions by courts in Florida, London and the Isle of Man over the course of September. The US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida has also granted Chapter 15 recognition of separate Chilean proceedings liquidating Chang’s investment vehicle Onix, a company he co-founded with his mother in 2009. Chang is accused of using Onix to defraud investors through a set of promissory notes guaranteed by what was in fact another Chang company, Grupo Arcano. The US Securities and Exchange Committee has accused him of manufacturing an identity as an award-winning angel investor, holding himself out as an early Google financier with an MBA from Stanford University, who falsely told investors their money would be put into Silicon Valley companies like Uber and Snapchat. Liquidator Parada has said in court filings that in fact Chang only invested a small part of the funds, using them to fund a lavish lifestyle for himself instead. Onix went into compulsory liquidation in May 2016 after it defaulted on its liabilities to a Chilean creditor, with the Santiago court appointing Parada as its liquidator. The company had over US$120 million in liabilities to over 1,000 creditors at the time of its liquidation. A year later, Chiang’s own estate was placed in compulsory liquidation by the 15 th Civil Court of Santiago and Parada was appointed to oversee this case too. Chang is now facing charges in Chile of fraud, money laundering and operating without a valid licence. He left Chile for Malta the month before Onix’s liquidation and although he was arrested there in December 2016, the Maltese courts have refused Chile’s request for his extradition. Chile has appealed that ruling. In a service ruling in December, the Australian court described Chang’s current whereabouts as unknown, though he did then appear at a hearing relating to his extradition from Malta on 24 January. The court said he would be served through his personal email address and his Chilean legal counsel. Parada was represented in the Australian proceedings by Sydney firm Arnold Bloch Leibler, and the hearings were attended by Sequor Law partner Edward Davis from Miami, his US counsel. Davis says, “We are very happy to have obtained, along with local counsel, additional recognition for Mr Parada in Australia which will allow him to secure real estate, bank accounts and artwork that are believed to be worth more than AU$5 million [US$4 million] in value.” Chang’s alleged personal spending on properties in Australia, the British Virgin Islands, Miami and London has instigated the global round of recognition proceedings for his Chilean liquidation. Chang’s property on the territory’s Moskito Island was partially destroyed last year by Hurricane Irma. The asset is nevertheless among those in the territory being pursued by a companion BVI liquidation with Grant Thornton as liquidator and Parada as its largest creditor, as the BVI does not permit the recognition of foreign liquidators.

Get to know Sequor Law's Giovanni Angles, an international arbitration specialist with extensive ICSID, ICC, and ICDR experience who shares his journey into cross-border dispute resolution. Attorney Spotlight – Get to Know Giovanni Angles Open Attorney Spotlight Open June 2, 2025 3 minutes read Sequor Law 1. What inspired you to pursue a law career? When I was a kid, my dad used a memorable analogy to explain the law—he compared it to the rules of a game. Just as understanding a game’s rules helps you play it more effectively, learning the rules that govern the real world equips you to navigate it. A legal career, then, allows you to master the framework that shapes society itself. Now that I’m older, it does sound a bit Machiavellian, but I think he meant well. 2. Why did you choose the areas of law that you practice? I chose litigation early on and never looked back. I knew I wanted to be a disputes lawyer, and every early experience in trial advocacy and summer clerkships reinforced that belief. But international arbitration chose me, almost by accident. Before I knew it, I was representing investors in ICSID proceedings and commercial parties in ICC and ICDR business disputes. Over the years, I’ve come to relish the unique nuances that make cross-border disputes so interesting. 3. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? The main skills that are part of every good litigator’s toolkit: The ability to read and absorb information for long stretches, ruthlessly efficient writing, and simplifying complex topics to fine tune a message for a certain audience. In international arbitration, that audience can vary by cultural background and legal tradition. 4. What is the most rewarding part about your job? Two things come to mind. For everyday moments, the most rewarding part of my job is working alongside my colleagues, particularly during the “crunch times” before a substantive filing or a final hearing. The other rewarding part is more elusive—that electrifying moment when we uncover a “black swan.” That is, a hidden fact, piece of evidence, or arcane procedural move during trial prep that can reshape our strategy. It happens with relentless digging and expansive thinking, and often helps us forge a path to victory in our client’s favor. 5. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career. I’ve been blessed with quite a few mentors who have helped my career in innumerable ways. One of the earliest ones was Richard Signore, my high school English teacher and theater program director who got me hooked on acting in front of a live audience and channeling the crowd’s energy into my performance—skills I tap into when addressing a jury or arbitral tribunal. Another was John Campbell, my adjunct undergraduate constitutional law professor. He encouraged me to aim high, and gave me a taste of what law school would be like, years before the real thing. He only taught for a couple of semesters, and he insisted I didn’t cause him to quit teaching. 6. If you weren’t practicing law, what would you be doing? Hard to settle on one thing. Probably teaching American history. 7. What might people be surprised to learn about you? I play on two different ice hockey teams in my spare time. It’s a great workout, and it sure beats golf. Sorry to my friends who golf, but you know I’m right. 8. What is a good book or article you read recently? My most recent read is Stolen Focus by Johann Hari, an eye-opening look at our problematic “attention crisis” caused by smartphones, societal pressures, and lots of other hidden environmental factors. These forces are ever-present, and the harm (individual and collective) is worse than you think. The book has helped me reclaim my lost time and re-hone my ability to deep focus. I highly recommend it.

Get to know Sequor Law Partner Tara J. Plochocki, who shares her remarkable journey from the Peace Corps and Human Rights Watch to leading complex international asset recovery cases in Washington, D.C. Attorney Spotlight – Get to Know Tara J. Plochocki Open Attorney Spotlight Open April 8, 2025 5 minutes read Sequor Law 1. What inspired you to pursue a law career? I had been leaning towards being a lawyer since I was young, probably because of subtle brainwashing by my parents. In my early 20s, however, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to be based in the United States, so getting a U.S. law degree was not necessarily right for me. I had some incredible job opportunities after university—serving in the Peace Corps in Jordan after 9/11, teaching in the foothills of the Himalayas in a Tibetan refugee community and working and living with ex-political prisoners, and then helping Reed Brody at Human Rights Watch put together the case for genocide against Hissène Habre—that made fieldwork and advocacy seem really appealing. But one day, I was covering the lunch shift at a restaurant near the United Nations headquarters in New York—this is where my roommates and I worked to make ends meet—and I was serving a couple of gentlemen with U.N. credentials. I overheard them talking about an armed conflict that was going on at the time, in which one country was absolutely crushing the civilians of the other. To put it mildly, I did not agree with them, and I came away from my shift that day 100% certain that I did not ever want to be in a position where, in advocating for a cause, I had to rely solely on the good will of politicians. Solving a problem by getting an enforceable court order from a judge held much more appeal (Pun intended). I went to the University of Michigan Law School the next year. 2. Why did you choose the areas of law that you practice, especially within the vibrant legal landscape of Washington, D.C.? My practice involves cross-border commercial litigation and fraud disputes, judgment and arbitral award enforcement and asset recovery, and litigation on behalf of and against foreign sovereigns. The best thing about this practice is that we get to take money from people who should not have it and give it to the people who should: our clients. This practice also relates to my original passion for enforcing the rule of law globally. Our cases push U.S. courts to open their doors to non-U.S. litigants and give them access to justice; judgments and awards are only useful if you can manage to enforce them somewhere in the world. And when governments or officials abuse their privileges and then try to hide behind sovereign immunity, it is satisfying to hold them to account just like any other litigant. Our cases are also intellectually challenging—I’m never bored. Our typical client is a person or entity with significant financial losses arising out of a fraud or breach of fiduciary duty. The case might have connections to potential defendants and assets in a dozen jurisdictions, and the client may not have particularly great evidence to prove the wrong committed. Marshaling evidence and figuring out where to bring a case and against whom is incredibly fun, especially since I get to do it with my foreign lawyer counterparts globally. It is such a privilege to work with brilliant and delightful people from every time zone and hemisphere. As for why Washington, D.C.: it is a city for idealistic and tenacious nerds, and I am one of them. 3. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? Listening and having curiosity are important to my practice. Our clients and our foreign lawyer counterparts are very smart people with insights and expertise that are useful not only to the merits of the case, but the broader strategy against the defendants. I also tend to strongly identify with our clients, and one of the very best parts of my job is writing my client’s story in a comprehensive, compelling way, regardless of whether we are bringing a plenary action on the merits or doing a simple petition for evidence. An added benefit, of course, is that the side that tells the best story tends to win the case. 4. What is the most rewarding part about your job as the first attorney representing Sequor Law in Washington, D.C.? I am grateful daily that my Sequor colleagues had enough faith in me to let me be the first person to open an office outside of Miami. It took a lot of trust and courage—on their part and mine—to leave our comfort zones and take on this new challenge. We are all thrilled that it has worked out so well in our first year! Also, while I have been fortunate to practice with and learn from superlative lawyers my entire legal career, Ed Davis is a pioneer in the field of asset recovery law and it has been a privilege to absorb some of his expertise. 5. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career. Mark Rosenbaum was the Legal Director of the ACLU of Southern California and a professor at my law school. I had a chance to intern for him and then to take his 14th Amendment class. For anyone who is not a U.S. Constitution aficionado, the 14th Amendment is the one that guarantees equal protection under the law (among other things). Mark taught us to “think about how the doctrine moves” and marched us through the lawyering decisions on which cases were brought when, with each new case building on the case before, inching closer and closer to real equality under the law. I think about “how the doctrine moves” every time I have a case with the potential to move the needle on an issue of importance to my practice. And lucky for me, Mark has reached out over the years for help with his own efforts to move constitutional law doctrines. 6. If you weren’t practicing law, what would you be doing? If I had to choose something unrelated to the law, then it would be a tie between writing fiction and rescuing stray dogs. Perhaps I could read my original works to rescue dogs? They generally don’t have discerning literary palates, so that could work well for me. 7. What might people be surprised to learn about you? I grew up in sunny Southern California. I seem way too serious to have come from there. 8. What is a good book or article you read recently? Jay Newman and Thomas Eymond-Laritaz published an article a few months ago in the Financial Times titled “ Sovereign investment dispute resolution is broken .” They rightly observe that enforcing judgments or arbitral awards against foreign sovereigns is astronomically expensive, and that lawyers must use both the law and creative diplomatic and economic solutions to best serve their creditor clients.

This article shares guidance on answering tough law school interview questions by conveying why you’re a strong candidate and demonstrating confident, concise oral advocacy. How to Answer Tough Law School Interview Questions Open In the News Open May 10, 2018 5 minutes read Sequor Law By Ilana Kowarski In law school interviews, it’s important to explain why you’re a strong candidate, experts say. Trial lawyers and appellate lawyers are often asked questions by judges who expect an immediate response. These attorneys cannot waver over what to say; they must improvise and come up with a compelling argument. Some of the most influential attorneys in U.S. history are famous for their ability to deliver captivating, off-the-cuff speeches. Before he joined the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Thurgood Marshall was a litigator known for his powerful speeches during civil rights cases. And Clarence Darrow – a trial attorney who represented clients in some of the most controversial legal disputes of the early 20th century like the “Scopes monkey trial” – was often lauded for his ability to sway juries with his remarks. Law school admissions committees strive to identify students who have the potential to have a lasting positive impact on the legal profession. That’s one reason why they look for applicants who have the capacity to speak with authority and conviction in a way that inspires others. But law schools also have a more pragmatic reason to recruit students with a silver tongue: Oral advocacy is a crucial part of many legal jobs. Attorney Andrew Ittleman, a founder and partner with the Fuerst Ittleman David & Joseph law firm in Miami, says that showing poise during a law school admissions interview is a must. “[In] exercises like that, you know, whether it’s sitting in an interview or arguing in court, you want to get to a place where you can be loose going in,” Ittleman says. “It’s not a test… Nobody is grading you the way that they would on a test. They want to see who you are as a person.” Ittleman advises law school applicants to conduct a few practice interviews with people they trust who can provide honest feedback. “Go through a couple of dry runs,” he suggests. Ittleman says practice interviews help students discover the right words to use to clearly express their thoughts. With that in mind, attorneys say that law school applicants should figure out how they’d like to answer the following questions before their admissions interviews. Why do you want to become a lawyer? Experts say this is a question that J.D. applicants must have a compelling answer for, because law schools are wary of admitting students who view law school as a delay tactic to avoid making a career choice. “I believe strongly that we should prepare and produce graduates who passionately want to be lawyers, because I believe lawyers who are passionate about what they are doing will be happy lawyers,” says Kathleen Boozang, dean of the Seton Hall University School of Law in New Jersey. “And so I am looking to see that the student is going to law school because they are inspired to go to law school, as opposed to [because] they really can’t think of anything else to do.” Why are you applying to this particular law school? “Students should go into interviews knowing everything on that school’s website, its values, how it describes itself, who the star professors are, etc.,” says Ella Tyler, a retired lawyer who works as a tutor for Varsity Tutors, a virtual education platform. “Law requires preparation and research, so if you showcase those skill sets in your interview, it’s proof that you have what it takes to be a lawyer.” What kind of law are you most interested in practicing? What is your dream law job? If you want to use a law degree in an unconventional way, such as in a policy job or a nonlegal business position, you may be asked: Why do you need a law degree? What would a law degree allow you to do professionally that you couldn’t do without the degree?Experts say law schools are looking for applicants who can clearly articulate how they intend to use a J.D., because these schools don’t want to admit students who lack a clear justification for investing the time, effort and expense that law school requires.“Law school is hard, it’s a lot of work, and you have to have the spark,” Boozang says. “You have to have a passion, you need to want to do it, and I want to just confirm that the student knows what they are getting into and that the desire is real.” What book are you reading at the moment, and what do you think of it? If you aren’t currently reading a book, you may be asked an alternative question: Who is your favorite author and why?Boozang says she asks questions like this to see whether a J.D. applicant is intellectually curious, enjoys the written word and can formulate a coherent argument about what he or she has read. The ability to analyze a text is a key skill for an aspiring lawyer, Boozang says.Questions of this type are also meant to reveal whether an applicant has a well-rounded personality that includes interests besides academics, Boozang says. She advises applicants to read the news and continue pursuing their extracurricular interests during the law school admissions process, because it gives them something interesting to discuss when they are asked personal questions.“I emphasize the importance to young people thinking about law school the need to be thinking about the world around them,” she says. What college paper are you most proud of? The thinking behind this question is that it allows a J.D. applicant to discuss a subject they are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about, Boozang says. This interview question illuminates the way an applicant thinks and clarifies whether they have the mindset of a future attorney, she adds.Boozang says a J.D. applicant who is asked this question should be prepared to answer follow-up queries about his or her paper, which may ultimately lead to a back-and-forth discussion with the interviewer. She says that the topic or thesis of the paper will be less relevant to the interviewer than whether the applicant is able to clearly explain his or her ideas and make a coherent argument. How would you contribute to a law school class? Experts say questions like this give law school applicants an opportunity to differentiate themselves from their competitors in the J.D. admissions process.Nyana Abreu, an attorney at Sequor Law in Miami, says the key to answering this question well is to talk less about academic statistics and more about who you are as a person.“That’s not an academic question, and I think that’s something that a lot of candidates miss – that when you’re given an opportunity to talk about yourself, they don’t want to know your GPA [and] they don’t want to know your test scores,” she says. “They already know all those types of things. They want to know something memorable about you. So I would say, think of that question as more of a first date question. You’re not so much telling the interviewer why you’re so studious and hardworking. You’re telling the interviewer why people want to spend time with you.” To view full article, click here.

A forum article examining how managers and allies can better support underrepresented attorneys in law firms, featuring insights from Sequor Law's Gregory Grossman. Forum: The critical role of managers and allies in the legal profession Open In the News Open June 23, 2021 4 minutes read Sequor Law In the corporate world, managers of diverse employees have significant influence over their employees’ success and play a major role in retaining and developing those employees. While the same is true in the legal industry, it is harder to determine who is the diverse attorney’s manager. Most associates work with a variety of partners, even at smaller law firms, so it is more difficult to say which partner wears the label of “manager.” Unfortunately, this often means that it becomes less clear who is responsible for developing, supporting and promoting diverse attorneys. However, it is the underrepresented – people of color, women, LGBTQ+ persons, individuals with disabilities and veterans – who need effective advocates in the workplace beyond their manager. And these advocates are the courageous allies in society that work to create more equitable and inclusive experiences and workplaces. All law firms have their own distinct structure, and this structure determines who is responsible for guiding a diverse associate on their path to success. Obviously, the partner who assigns work should be the first advocate for the attorney’s career. Second, practice area leaders (or similar positions) may not interact with diverse attorneys regularly but are responsible for the overall success of all the attorneys under their purview. In some cases, firms also have a person in an administrative role who oversees work assignments, evaluations and feedback – another good candidate to be an advocate. And finally, formal and informal mentors play a role. In the legal world, all the above-mentioned leaders should act as “manager” in an effort to positively impact diverse associates’ career trajectories and enhance the firm’s retention. Issues arise, however, when none, or only one, of these people step up and accept the responsibility. Ensuring that diverse attorneys have access to formalized work assignments, professional development opportunities, mentoring programs and sponsorship commitments does not happen without a concerted effort. Firm leaders should focus on these four areas to make sure advocacy happens within the firm: Building relationships Wesley Bizzell, senior assistant general counsel of Altria Client Services and president of the National LGBT Bar Association, notes that “time is a challenge,” whether in a corporate law department or a law firm, but that “plain old-fashioned listening” is vital to a manager’s role in supporting diverse attorneys. Creating relationships with diverse attorneys shows the manager is making an investment in attorney careers. The key is to create a “sincere relationship with people because it will pay off in the long term,” says Ronald Jordan, senior principal director at Carter-White & Shaw. “It is an investment.” Providing opportunities It is critical for diverse attorney success that managers be conscious of how and to whom they assign work and the quality of those assignments. “It’s important to be thoughtful about high-profile work across the team,” explains Bonnie Lau, partner at Morrison & Foerster and alumni chair of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity. “It is common knowledge that partners tend to rely on their choice colleagues, which often excludes underrepresented diverse attorneys.” Ensuring a pipeline of work Developing key legal competencies is vital for all attorneys, and work assignments are the primary mechanism in how attorneys gain that skill and knowledge. No matter who controls the pipeline, “just getting diverse attorneys noticed and valued so that they gain access is what is important,” says Gregory Grossman , partner at Sequor Law. Managers, however defined in a law firm, need to ensure their diverse attorneys get the experience necessary to stay on track at their firms, and there are many ways managers can do this. For example, to ensure the firm’s work was equitably distributed, Jenner & Block piloted a new work assignment process to create “more oversight and insight starting with the new associates,” notes Courtney Carter, Jenner & Block’s director of diversity and inclusion. Promoting allyship An ally is an individual who helps to create work cultures that attract and retain the highest quality attorneys. These allies commit to diversity, equity and inclusion in meaningful and lasting ways to best support the advancement of underrepresented attorneys. An ally also must demonstrate courage and agree to risk their political capital for underrepresented attorneys. This includes “offering to introduce colleagues from underrepresented groups to influential people within your network,” says Keyonn Pope, partner at Reed Smith. Being an ally What does it mean to be an ally within a legal organization? Senior attorneys who hold positions of influence often act as allies to those with less access, taking responsibility for implementing changes that will enable underrepresented attorneys’ success. “Being an ally, or accomplice, requires a commitment to use one’s personal and professional platform to create positive change,” says Daniel L. (D.L.) Morriss, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) partner at Hinshaw & Culbertson. Indeed, an ally can perform powerful acts such as recommending newer colleagues for high-profile work, stretch assignments and learning opportunities. Allies can also demonstrate support by creating a safe space for attorneys to be their authentic selves, normalizing mental health and wellness issues, and suggesting diverse attorneys to be speakers or panelists. “There are people who support DEI and want to be allies,” explains Taylor Wilson, managing partner of Haynes and Boone, adding it’s important to “empower them to use their voices and privilege to better advocate for change.” Allies also seek to create systemic change within the organization, not just remove barriers for specific underrepresented attorneys. This can be done through resource funding, salary review, inclusive hiring practices, inclusive employee benefit plans, nursing rooms, wellness rooms, prayer rooms, venue accessibility and all-gender restrooms. Ultimately, allies must give honest and constructive feedback and overcome fears that the receiver will not accept the feedback. Studies have found that African American lawyers receive extra scrutiny from supervising attorneys, which can lead to poor performance reviews, lower bonuses, less visible assignments and job loss. The feedback should be specific. When pinpointing something negative, offer assistance and highlight ways and resources to improve. The key is to tie all feedback to business goals. In the legal field, diversity of thought and perspective are critical to servicing clients at the highest level. Managers and allies will help law firms move the needle forward in creating an environment in which all underrepresented communities are afforded equal access to quality work and opportunities. Remember, the ultimate goal of a diverse workforce is to promote a stronger cross section of perspectives, experiences and insights to solve clients’ legal challenges. This should be the goal of every attorney and law firm leader. To see the original article, click here.
