welcome to the LCLD

The Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) was formed in 2009 to advance diversity in the legal profession. It is an organization of corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners dedicated to a truly diverse profession.

The leaders who make up the LCLD share the belief that for the profession of the law to prosper, it is necessary to hire, engage, retain, and promote the best talent. A critical component of having the best talent is having diverse talent.

We also believe it is important to share profiles of individuals who are making a mark in the area of legal diversity. Please click on "The LCLD interviews" a video series which launched in July 2010.

We welcome your comments, your involvement, and your commitment.
