Recognizing that the new coronavirus has created roadblocks for diversity and inclusion efforts, Seyfarth Shaw has partnered with a number of in-house organizations and affinity bar associations to create The Belonging Project to bolster the careers of diverse attorneys.

“This is the time that we need to focus very specifically on diversity and inclusion so we don’t lose ground while people are sheltering in place,” Laura Maechtlen, co-chair of Seyfarth Shaw’s National Diversity and Inclusion Action Team in San Francisco, said.
