Taking on a newly created role, Kori Carew recently joined the international law firm Seyfarth Shaw as its first chief inclusion & diversity officer, according to a Seyfarth news release.

Touting Carew, an attorney, as a “sought-after authority” on inclusion and diversity, the Am Law 100 firm pointed to Carew's seven years of experience as director of strategic diversity Initiatives at Shook, Hardy & Bacon, where she successfully helped lead the large firm's charge for diversity and inclusion before joining Seyfarth.

Under Carew's leadership, Shook Hardy earned dozens of relevant accolades, noted Seyfarth, such as Shook's 100% scores on the Human Rights Council's Corporate Equality Index and its inclusion on “Best Law Firms for Women” list published by Working Mother magazine.
