LCLD is one of the nation’s leading organizations promoting diversity and consists of more than 430 corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners who have dedicated themselves to creating a truly diverse U.S. legal profession.

Friedman Kaplan took part in a number of LCLD programs and initiatives during the past year, including participating in the LCLD Fellows and Pathfinders programs, hosting two summer associates through the LCLD 1L Scholars program, publishing a leader’s pledge by Management Committee member Mala Ahuja Harker through LCLD’s “Leaders at the Front” initiative, and participating in an LCLD Leadership Summit.

“We are thrilled to be recognized with a Compass Award and are grateful for the opportunities LCLD provides to participate in programs that help increase diversity, inclusion, and mentorship within our firm and the profession as a whole,” said Ms. Harker. “As a boutique firm, we especially appreciate that LCLD’s initiatives are scalable and empower organizations large and small to work together to effect positive change in the legal community.”
