Affinity networks, diversity and inclusion groups, call them what you will, these groups are an increasing trend in the corporate world. And that includes law firms in the City of London.
Mayer Brown recently hosted one of the Lord Mayor’s Power of Diversity panel sessions focusing on the design of affinity network groups. The panel included people who work with disability networks, LGBT networks, women’s networks and more. There were representatives from law firms as well as institutions including Barclays, HSBC and MasterCard. Networks are “in” and the City is catching on that they are a good thing.
