Wilson Sonsini is pleased to announce our 1L Student Diversity Summit on March 18 and 19, 2021! Wilson Sonsini is committed to the principle that diversity and inclusion are vital components of a thriving organization. Diversity of thought, experience, identity, and background, as well as an inclusive culture, enable our firm to deliver greater value to our clients, provide a richer work experience to our employees, and make meaningful, lasting contributions to our communities. Diversity and inclusion are particularly important to our firm because our exceptionally innovative technology, life science, and other emerging growth clients are also exceptionally diverse themselves.
To further enhance our commitment to diversity in the legal sector, we developed this two-day program to introduce first-year law students to legal careers at Wilson Sonsini and beyond. We will provide programming to help these students foster meaningful, lasting connections with Wilson Sonsini attorneys, clients, alums and each other, which can benefit them throughout their career.
This year our summit will kick-off with a keynote address by Zynga Chief Legal Officer and Wilson Sonsini alumna, Phuong Phillips and will include a mix of practical workshops, panels and networking opportunities.
All first-year law students graduating in 2023 from ABA-accredited law schools are encouraged to complete our online application 1L Student Diversity Summit Application by February 26, 2021. Attached is a one-page description of the program, as well as links to our recent diversity newsletter Diversity at Wilson Sonsini and more information about Wilson Sonsini’s commitment to diversity. We would appreciate if you could share this information with your student groups and law school colleagues.
Should you have any questions about the program or Wilson Sonsini, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Thank you in advance for your support, we’re looking forward to working together in the coming year.
