Kirkland’s BPN recognizes and honors the diverse backgrounds of those in our community through Firmwide and local programming and relationship-building events. Many of our BPN member lead legal events around the country and contribute to national organizations promoting inclusivity in the legal profession.

One such organization, CCWC, has championed diversity, equity and inclusion in the legal profession for 20 years, and Kirkland is proud to be an active participant in its work. CCWC offers events throughout the year aimed at empowering corporate female leaders of color and encouraging dialogue around how to make an impact as a leader. As the lead sponsor of CCWC’s Career Strategies Conferences — the organization’s marquee event — several of our women partners lead panel discussions, sharing their collective knowledge and insights to help others navigate and achieve success in the broader corporate landscape.

“This event provides an invaluable platform for women of color in leadership roles to share strategies, build relationships and advance their careers,” partner Sierra Elizabeth said. “It’s an incredible network to be a part of.”
