We proudly partnered with several diversity-focused organizations throughout 2023, supporting events that brought together attorneys from all backgrounds for networking and educational opportunities. We take pride in highlighting some of the events that we supported in 2023, and we look forward to continuing our commitment to supporting such events in 2024.
