Fitzgerald and Groves Attend Leadership Council on Legal Diversity Annual Meeting

Winston & Strawn firm managing partner Thomas Fitzgerald and Amanda Groves, chair of the diversity committee, attended the third Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) Annual Meeting, held on September 13, 2012 in Washington, D.C. The meeting brought together a cross-section of general counsel, many from Fortune 500 corporations, as well as managing partners of the nation's largest law firms.

The LCLD, which was formed in May 2009, is an organization of corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners dedicated to creating a truly diverse legal profession. Their mission is to continue the work of the "Call to Action" initiative by having our organizations hire, retain, promote and engage the best talent. A critical and necessary element of having the best talent is having diverse talent.
