Biggest consideration for promoting partners and counsel. They say this at every reception etc. Arethey actively trying to get white men to leave? Not sure how profitable the firm would be without us.

(It is 2014)

The senior most person in my organization got up in front of the entire group and announced that he "wanted more people who look like me" in the organization and in senior leadership roles.

He was a black male.

Yeah ie they want some partners bringing in $5 million of revenue from a couple large longstanding mega clients, and others bringing in $5 million of revenue from several middle market clients, and others bringing in $5 million of revenue from more volatile start ups

A lot do audits or collect information but the number of companies that substantively push back against non-diverse firms is pretty limited I think. In another 10 years the story will be different.

Many European companies now have laws requiring that x% of company birds be women, etc. probably will be the same in the US soon, but also with requirements for minorities and gays

Under the Norwegian law, public companies are required to comply with varying degrees of gender representation depending on the size of their boards. If, for example, the board has more than nine directors, both genders must constitute 40 percent of the total makeup, at a minimum. For smaller boards, the required level of representation can reach up to 50 percent. Noncompliant Norwegian firms face the possible sanction of court-ordered dissolution.

It will be some time before that makes its way to the US - you would basically need five Sotomayors on the SCOTUS for some kind of quota law to pass. And if we end up with five Sotomayors, we're very fucked.

tbf a minority service partner is going to be significantly more marketable to clients than another underutilized whitebro service partner, which most firms have scores of. Gotta cop dem diversity points.

The diversity refugees should start their own firms.

Once installed at the top, they can then be the ones to wring their hands about needing more "diversity."
