Oh so they never believed in it to begin with.

K&L Gates is getting the business by at least one General Counsel, a white woman, on LinkedIn for removing its diversity commitment from its website with a warning that GC’s are watching to determine who will be their vendors. I truly like to think that this is a hopeful sign, but the shocking all campaign of failed up mediocre fascism that we are being blitzed with, along with the “private“ MAGA force blocking federal Congress persons from even entering government buildings, has me rightfully concerned. The true way to show allyship would be the white GC‘s, CEOs and law firm managing partners to step up. This is not our fight, or rather, our obligation to do so.

Nope. We’re very proud of our diversity efforts and are Mansfield Rule Certified.

For those who practice, DEI is supposed to be rooted in your organization and a part of your culture that is enhanced in the work that you do. It's not something you can erase in a day on your website or stop immediately by signing a document as it takes time to change WHO YOU ARE. If your organization has been able to erase it in the 3 or so weeks since January 20th then don't worry, You're not losing anything. They were not actually practicing but just ticking a box to shut you up.

What do you do to get yourself comfortable saying something doesn’t exist in an agreement or in case law? When i get questions like this (Ex. Does this contract have XYZ-type language?) I usually figure out the answer pretty quickly…but then I spend a ton of time trying to prove myself wrong. I got burned on a question like this as a 2nd yr, so I think I’m just hyper aware of the risk. I’ve been told I need to get “more efficient” though, so I’m trying to work on this. Any suggestions?

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work.
