Prior to joining my current firm in 1999, I worked as an assistant district attorney in the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, as assistant general counsel at a Philadelphia-area based chemical company, and as a partner at two Philadelphia-area insurance and corporate defense litigation firms. Over that 20-year span, I had never had a minority attorney as a colleague.
I do not see that as an indictment of any of my previous employers, but rather as a reflection of the times and of the small number of minority attorneys seeking employment with those employers. It also reflected the inability of those employers to attract a diverse group of candidates for employment.
