Topic: In a New York Minute: Understanding Shifts in Corporate Social Activism within the Legal Industry
The premier (inter)national summit for law firm executives, Thomson Reuters’ annual Law Firm COO & CFO Forum continues its storied tradition of comprehensive professional education and networking opportunities for the Am Law 200 and beyond.
Gina Rubel, Furia Rubel Communications, Inc. CEO and General Counsel, will speak about the increasing pressure over the past decade on law firms and leading corporations to take public positions on current topics and movements regarding social justice, economic disparity, and entrenched racism.
Many lawyers find themselves entrenched in political and social justice issues, but having real discussions around those themes can become taboo as attorneys enter the legal profession. Given the gravity of such issues, how are law firms now evaluating decisions on how to respond to issues in the public spectrum? How are they communicating their stance on issues that directly affect their own professionals and staff? What are the potential ramifications for a law firm of issuing a statement on a current social event versus not responding at all? Join us as we discuss the current state of corporate social activism and the ways firms are dealing with issues originating outside of the legal industry.
