Akiesha Sainvil is an associate at Greenberg Traurig in Miami.

What do you think has been the most effective step you’ve taken to increase diversity and inclusion in your community, and why?

My mission is to emphasize the importance of advocating for diversity and inclusion in the profession at all times—not just when people are watching. My role as Miami city lead for the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) Success in Law School Mentoring Program has been a key step in this mission. As city lead, I partner with local law schools to match volunteer in-house and private practice attorneys with students traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession for mentoring.
