A recent article by our Global Director of Partner Development Matthias Birk discusses why now is the perfect time to start practicing mindfulness.

To our colleagues, clients and friends, happy Year of the Ox. May you have a year of strength and determination in 2021.

This month, we're celebrating UK LGBT+ History Month—a cultural celebration of the rich history, lives and legacies of LGBT+ people. This year’s theme is ‘Body, Mind and Spirit’, which celebrates bodies of all genders and sexualities; the diversity of the LGBT+ community; and the resilience shown in the ongoing struggle for rights and recognition.

Associate and co-chair of our London Spectrum LGBT+ Affinity Network, Alexander Underwood, shares his thoughts on the importance of celebrating LGBT+ history and how we're marking the event internally: “LGBT+ history month is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness and understanding of LGBT+ issues. By celebrating courageous LGBT+ people in our history, we recognise and honour their contributions to advancing LGBT+ rights and equality, while being mindful that many barriers still face the LGBT+ community today. This month, we aim to reignite the conversation on LGBT+ equality and proudly celebrate hidden LGBT+ histories” 🏳️‍🌈

We recently hosted Dr. Angélica Guevara, Hastie Fellow at the University of Wisconsin Law School, at a virtual event to raise awareness on disability and move the discussion beyond inclusion to belonging.

According to the World Health Organization, about 15 percent of the world's population lives with a disability. Those who live with apparent or non-apparent disabilities make up an extremely diverse group, so it is critical that our approach to ensuring inclusion and belonging is similarly broad and inclusive.

True disability justice comes from fixing the system to offer equal access to both tools and opportunities, rather than requiring people to adapt to the system. "It is asking yourself, ‘how can we maximize human potential’ whether a person has a disability or not,” Dr. Guevara stated.

At White & Case, we want to create a culture in which each of us understands what it means to be an effective ally so we can be an inclusive Firm for all. Raising awareness of apparent and non-apparent disabilities is one step toward that goal. To learn more about the event, follow the link in our bio.

George Floyd’s murder in 2020, along with the other Black lives lost to racial injustice and police brutality, accelerated the Black Lives Matter movement. Multiracial and multigenerational protests around the world galvanized the fight against anti-Black racism.

At White & Case, the work continues. To commemorate Black History Month in the US, we will be hosting a number of internal events as part of our ongoing series of candid conversations about race, including:

A conversation with Pulitzer prize-winning Nikole Hannah-Jones discussing The 1619 Project and the ongoing legacy of slavery in the US;

A virtual 10th Annual Diversity Symposium co-hosted with the Caribbean Bar Association featuring Senior Supervising Attorney for Children's Rights for the State of Florida and Managing Attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center, Bacardi Jackson, and Director of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Daniel E. Dawes;

A talk from Adrienne Jones, the first African-American and the first woman to serve as Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates; and

A virtual roundtable discussion with members of our global Affinity Networks sharing their perspectives about racial issues. #blackhistorymonth #blacklivesmatter

Despite the challenges brought by the global pandemic, our Global Learning and Development Team adapted and virtually delivered numerous regional Milestone training programs for associates and Business Services colleagues, including our global Senior Development Program, and united our people across the globe.

The Milestone programs serve as a key development opportunity for our associates as they seek to grow their careers with the Firm. The 2020 Milestone 3 Program brought together associates from 20 offices across APAC, EMEA and the Americas region.

David Smith, an associate in Frankfurt, reflected on his experience during the program: “Milestone 3 presented a rare opportunity for everyone to exchange their own vision for their future and give/receive neutral, collegial feedback in a safe setting.” Congratulations to all of our 2020 Milestone and Senior Development Program participants!

Stay tuned for more information on our 2021 virtual associate training programs coming soon.
