Thomas Sager, senior vice president and general counsel of DuPont, said in a press conference that the commitment, dubbed the Inclusion Initiative, was a way to “provide greater opportunities for diverse lawyers.” He said, “We have an opportunity as some of the largest companies in the country to make a difference in our profession.”

The announcement was made as part of the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms’ semiannual business meeting in Washington.
