Shilpa Coorg’s Article Published in Los Angeles Lawyer
Shilpa Coorg’s article entitled “Millennials Demand More Diversity in the Profession” was published in the January 2022 issue of Los Angeles Lawyer. In the article, Shilpa examines the significant impact millennial attorneys are having on the field of law, with a focus on the increased demand for meaningful diversity in the law firm setting.
“Law firms that adopt a narrow focus on diversity, or worse, that have no focus at all, do so at their own peril,” writes Shilpa. She describes how millennials have recently come to expect a broader definition of diversity—one that “invites a variety of ideas, perspectives, and life experiences”—and highlights the benefits of a truly diverse workplace, such as “higher employee satisfaction, lower attrition, greater diversity of skill, and reputational advantages.”
The article continues on to highlight key steps firms can take to improve diversity efforts. “Focus on inclusion,” advises Shilpa. “While many firms tend to have policies in place to expand diversity—whether through recruitment or retention—efforts at inclusion sometimes get ignored.”
