As more major law firms make public moves to tackle diversity issues, Shearman & Sterling on Friday announced a new executive position and a new “global task force” aimed at increasing diversity at the Wall Street firm.

Shearman’s longtime global director of legal talent, Sandra Bang, will be its first-ever chief diversity and talent strategy officer. The diversity and inclusion task force, chaired by recently-appointed senior partner David Beveridge, includes several partners across the firm and will develop and implement diversity and inclusion strategies.
