This subject really isn't getting enough discussion -- all the big financial firms (and I assume others) are getting more and more aggressive about the diversity of outside counsel on a given case or deal. You have to wonder how much discussion is going on at firms, internally and with clients, about this issue -- beyond the "optional" firm diversity surveys where they gather data.

I'm reviewing docs on a case right now where a boomer partner is sucking off inhouse counsel about how seriously he took their diversity discussion and apologizing for the fact that the current deal was staffed prior to that discussion. Seems the only way to address this in practical terms is to throw some white guys off a matter just because.

Can't help but wonder if this was a factor a few years ago when I basically had to hand over my role on a years-old case to a new WOC associate. She was perfectly competent and all but the whole thing just came out of left field. And of course, she wound up taking 2 maternity leaves in a little over 3 years before lateraling out.

I mean, if you could actually look at the process by which HR and partners meet these diversity quotas, you could probably make out the elements of a discrimination claim, no?

Some people are actual liberals who espouse these values out of principle, not for virtue signaling.

I actively hire/promote people with diversity in mind because it’s a value I deeply support. This includes gays, old/ young workers, ethnic minorities, and those with disabilities.

Since competence doesn't seem to be important to you, how do you decide the amount of diversity that is necessary when you make a choice on who gets the job (white gay female versus black male)?

Competence is a key criteria, it’s just not the sole criteria by which candidates are judged. Social fit, stamina/energy, professionalism, contributions to diversity, etc. are additional “soft” factors.

Most industries woefully underrepresented such groups, so to the extent we can hire and retain qualified talent from these groups, we are succeeding in ameliorating the imbalance.

Do your diversity hiring practices take into account the extent to which the "underrepresentation" of non-Asian minorities is due to racial differences in IQ, or do you just treat any and all imbalance as being the result of "woeful" bigotry and go from there?

You sound incapable of a cogent reply. What constitutes an underrepresented group, anyway? Aren't white people underrepresented compared to Asians, and goyim compared to Jews? Do you ever attempt to hire and retain qualified talent from those groups in order to ameliorate those imbalances?

Why do you think minorities are monolithic? That’s tribal thinking. Everyone who isn’t a white male is an “ other”. A white gay person shares little in common with a straightHisoanic woman or disabled black man. We don’t view ourselves as all the same. Only tribalists like you do.

Is this a serious question? This is not a thought experiment. Diversity is about both diversity of perspective and inclusiveness. If you exclude large segments of society along very visible social lines, your diversity of thoughts argument becomes worthless

this is not mutually exclusive. you can refuse to base preferences on social lines entirely (90's style) and pursue diversity of thought. if you care about meaningful diversity, this would be preferable, compared to basing preferences on extrinsic categories people have no control over. "perspective" is retarded if it does not refer to intellectual qualities such as values or beliefs.

That people have no control over these extrinsic factors is precisely why inclusiveness actions such categories is so important. Otherwise, any group ( usually the one in power) could exclude on the purported basis of having achieved diversity of thought, even if the group is uniform in every other sense. And since diversity of thought can’t really be quantified or readily observed. It’s a particularly convenient cloak under which to hide.

That’s a ridiculous question.

Even if Denmark were entirely white, it’d still value diversity of sexes, lgbtq and disabled workers. Furthermore, harmony can be achieved in a number of ways, and your insistence that monolithic societies are the only oath to harmony is infantile and frankly laughable .

As in-house counsel, I definitely prefer having someone that is familiar with the culture of the country we're doing business in. It doesn't always have to be the person of the same race or ethnic group, but that tends to be the case.

Is it very different? I think what I do sometimes gets mislabeled and falls within the OP's gripe.

With that being said, I think my company's law dept is probably the most diverse group I've worked in. I can see some of them caring about it or some partner thinking it'd be good to increase their diversity in an attempt to curry favor with the in-house atty.

welp...there you go. I don't really care who works on my deals other than in certain cases like LatAm deals. But, tbh, I'd probably give more work to a d00der that I can relate with than someone that's just a bot. I've definitely handed stuff over to a hispanic bro because he was low on hours. But, I've never kicked anyone off a deal other than for padding.

What you are describing is "adding value" by adding someone familiar with another country. That person incidentally then makes the team "more diverse." It has nothing to do with diversity for diversity's sake alone, which is the OP's gripe.

That's fine. Just think that my request tends to lead to adding diversity for diversity's sake. I think it's an indirect result, but obviously we can disagree. I have no scientific evidence other than the fact that almost every other atty I interact with for NAM deals is now Hispanic or in the case of certain EMEA deals Arab bros. These are for domestic deals so UK or USA-deal. I guess they just noticed me feeding these bros more work than usual.

Edit: Should add that white d00ds never ask for more work. Not sure why. They just do the assignment and that's it. The other dudes tend to stay on the line and chat about personal shit. That's usually when they talk about trying to catch up on hours, etc.

Strict client rules like that are dumb, but I do find it is valuable to have a team with both men and women on it and you don't want it to be all white or all male if you are going to court. Like 75% of the judges I've had in my career are female. And probably 40% of clients.
