Fox Rothschild LLP issued the following announcement on Feb. 2.
Fox Rothschild LLP is pleased to announce that the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) has selected Brittney R. Powell to join its Class of Fellows and Maria Z. Cortes and Meeghan H. Tirtasaputra to participate in its Class of Pathfinders for 2022.
“We congratulate our colleagues on their selection to this dynamic program that is designed to create a pipeline of diverse attorneys to drive change and foster equity and inclusion in the legal profession,” said Kimberly Bullock Gatling, Fox’s Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer.
The LCLD serves diverse attorneys throughout their legal careers, from law school to the highest levels of leadership, and has grown to more than 400 in-house chief legal officers and law firm managing partners committed to creating a more equitable profession.
The three Fox attorneys join a select group of lawyers recognized for their leadership potential. Alumni of the program have gone on to serve as general counsel, managing partners, judges and have opened their own firms.
Now in its 11th year, the Fellows Program is designed to increase diversity among the leadership of the nation’s law firms and corporate legal departments. Participating in the year-long, hybrid program will give Brittney Powell access to professional development courses that focus on the unique needs of in-house and law firm attorneys, as well as a variety of events focused on leadership and career development.
In the seven-month Pathfinder Program, Maria Cortes and Meeghan Tirtasaputra will benefit from a series of workshops and participate in sessions hosted by LCLD Alumni as well as in peer group assignments with a curriculum focused on developing leadership skills, building professional networks and forming a successful career development strategy.
