Stinson LLP's diversity and inclusion initiatives were recently featured as a case study by Thomson Reuters. Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Ann Jenrette-Thomas shared the firm's strategic work, including setting clear outcome targets, creating and improving scholarship strategies for law students of color, and focusing on firmwide inclusion efforts.

Ann also discussed building on success with more retention strategies and developing a pilot program to monitor work assignments to ensure that all attorneys have an equal opportunity to fine tune their legal skills.
