our mission

The LCLD, which was formed in May 2009, is an organization of corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners dedicated to creating a truly diverse legal profession.

Our vision is to significantly advance diversity and inclusion in our profession.

Our mission is to continue the work of the "Call to Action" initiative by having our organizations hire, retain, promote and engage the best talent. A critical and necessary element of having the best talent is having diverse talent.

We commit to work together to take action to drive material change in our institutions, with others in our circles of influence, and in the profession generally.
