Diversity Initiative: David Flugman, partner, Selendy Gay Elsberg
"I am particularly proud of our Selendy Gay Elsberg Diversity Fellowship, which takes direct aim at systemic issues of advancement by historically underrepresented groups in the legal profession—especially attorneys of color and first-generation lawyers from economically disadvantaged backgrounds—by providing individualized programming and training by independent career coaches."
