Kaufman Dolowich & Voluck named Katherine Catlos as the firm’s first chief diversity and inclusion officer. Catlos is a partner in the labor and employment practice and also serves on the Women’s Initiative leadership committee at the firm. The firm began participating in the Mansfield Rule 2.0 certification program, which measures whether firms have considered 30 percent of its women attorneys and attorneys of color for its leadership roles, to support diversity in its leadership last fall.
