The Chambers Diversity & Inclusion Awards celebrate in-house legal teams and law firms who are furthering the advancement of diversity and inclusion, and pro bono across Latin America.
With clients increasingly demanding to see improvements in inclusion from their law firms, the awards provide an opportunity for both private practice and in-house legal teams to demonstrate the key work and success they are bringing to shifting the inclusion dial. As we reduced the number of award categories this year, we had an extremely tough time to narrow down the shortlist due to the very high calibre of submissions received.
Our charity partner for the event is Media Defence.
Date: Thursday 3 December 2020
Format: Virtual
The awards which will take place virtually and will form part of the Chambers Diversity Latin America week. During this week, diversity leaders and key speakers will come together to celebrate the individuals that lead the way in D&I and pro bono but also provide insights and updates on current issues. More information about the activities of the week will follow soon.
