Diversity

Realizing that the benefits of diversity are real and that companies that do not take advantage of such benefits are increasingly at a competitive disadvantage, Corporate America’s call for diversity in its supply chain, including suppliers of legal services, has never been louder or more real than it is today.

BurgherGray is also well positioned to assist majority firms in their own efforts to be responsive to the call for diversity among their ranks. Our lawyers are experienced in structuring and executing successful co-counsel arrangements with majority firms seeking ways to deliver on their commitment to diversity despite the budgetary constraints that limit their respective abilities to hire new lawyers. We have successfully executed such arrangements in many transactional contexts, including in M&A transactions, public finance transactions and structured finance transactions, and with a number of major firms. Such arrangements have generally proved to be a win-win for all interested parties—the client and the co-counseling firms.
