Workshop: The state of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Legal Profession as an Ethical and Existential Issue for the Industry

The panel will address the topic of DEI in the legal profession, its latest developments and challenges and will include speakers from law firms, companies and ASIPI. Among the topics to be discussed will be the importance that firms, companies and professional associations jointly assume DEI programs with practical examples, what companies expect from their associated firms and why firms, as an ethical element and as part of their professional responsibility, should be an agent of promotion and change on issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. The DEI as an integral commitment, thus avoiding the so-called “diversity washing” and the role of ASIPI as a promoter and change agent to ensure inclusiveness in our forum and profession.
