Success Stories
Senior Investment Paralegal
“Working with this team was delightful! I was apprehensive about responding to their DM on LinkedIn but their presentation of a potential opportunity was very personalized and thoughtful and did not feel like a boiler-plate sent to the masses. The team has taken time to work with me after hours and tell me about the position, prepare me for the interview, and patiently answer all of my questions. I truly felt they went to bat for me with the potential employer and obtained all my asks as if it were their own. I can’t thank the team enough. I highly recommend working with them for career growth.”

She is great at articulating the unique qualities of each organization and candidate to ensure there is a cultural fit and realistic expectations. This is a people business and Katie knows people.”

Despite their professed importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion, law firms’ commitment to these values is questionable if their business decisions are inconsistent with that commitment. If dubious credibility isn’t motivating, law firms should consider these five compelling benefits to prioritizing partnerships with certified women- and minority-owned organizations:
The Lawt’s Approach to DEI: “Show, Don’t Tell”
The Lawt is committed to prioritizing DEI in all recruiting strategies. To demonstrate this, we recently published a case study to offer a transparent, quantitative analysis of our work.
