“Consider doing three things right away: First, pay attention to who is and isn’t getting work in the downturn. Ask a partner in each practice group to monitor work allocation to ensure your diverse lawyers are getting their fair share. (1/3)”

“Second, ensure that all associates and new partners, especially your diverse lawyers, have an assigned partner who can answer their questions and direct them in this uncertain time. (2/3)”
