LPL Financial Awards Outstanding Diversity Leaders in the Legal Profession
03 Junho 2024 - 10:00AM
LPL Financial LLC (Nasdaq:LPLA) today announced the winners of
its second annual Law Firm Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and
Belonging (DEIB) Awards: Davis Wright Tremaine LLP (DWT), a
national law firm with more than 600 attorneys, has received the
Law Firm DEIB Recognition Award and Jules W. Carter, associate
attorney at Moore & Van Allen PLLC, has been recognized with
the Diversity Champion Award.
The Law Firm DEIB Awards recognize law firms and attorneys who
have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to advancing DEIB in
the legal profession. The program was established in 2023 by LPL in
partnership with the American Bar Association and its Commission on
Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession. The awards recognize
firm-level and individual efforts to expand opportunities for
attorneys of all backgrounds and advance diversity in the legal
profession.
“I am honored to recognize DWT and Carter with LPL’s Law Firm
DEIB Awards,” said LPL’s Managing Director and Chief Legal Officer
Althea Brown. “To continue a positive trajectory and influence real
industry-wide change, we must acknowledge those who are doing the
work and, most importantly, learn from them. DWT and Carter are
exemplary leaders in the legal profession, reaffirming the
importance of fostering a culture of belonging, equity and
purpose.”
Davis Wright Tremaine was awarded this year’s Law Firm DEIB
Recognition Award for its vision to create a culture of belonging
where all talented individuals—including those who are
traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession—have and see
paths toward success.
“We are honored to be recognized by LPL as we work to advance
our shared commitment to DEI,” said Yusuf Zakir, Chief
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer at DWT. “We must continue
to intentionally drive this work with the recognition that diverse
teams offer the best results for our clients. While we still have
much work to do, we’re grateful for the support and partnership of
LPL along this journey.”
Carter, based in Charlotte, N.C., has helped highlight and
expand opportunities for diverse individuals at her firm by
creating and leading Moore & Van Allen’s Black Attorney
Resource Group (BARG). Her pro bono work is focused on equity and
social justice as she works to advance democracy and public safety
in marginalized communities.
“Commerce is most effective when people come together to learn
from and build upon the diverse opinions, experiences and ideas of
others,” said Carter. “To me, DEIB is a discipline dedicated to
putting that wisdom into practice. It involves taking a mindful
approach to promoting innovation and creativity by cultivating an
environment in which our differences are valued and respected, and
where we are encouraged to approach one another with curiosity,
compassion and humility. I am extremely excited to be recognized by
LPL, an industry leader, that believes in the importance of
incorporating the core principles of DEIB into its commercial
practices.”
Law Firm DEIB Award winners are selected on a variety of
qualifications, including the proactive promotion of issues related
to DEIB among peers and within the firm. Community outreach efforts
and support of legal associations, community groups, non-profits
and educational institutions are also vital components of the
judging criteria. Other activities recognized in the selection
process were community service, pro bono work, professional
development, hiring practices, or programs that support inclusion
and help foster a culture of belonging.
