The Firm recently hosted its tenth annual Citywide Diversity Reception, which kicked off its STB First Look: Law Student Diversity Summit. The event included opening remarks by Partner George Wang and welcomed colleagues, alumni, clients and diverse law students, as well as a conversation with America Ferrera, the prominent actor, director, producer and activist. America offered a candid perspective on her experiences navigating the entertainment industry as a Latina and shared advice on how to overcome adversity in any industry. The discussion was moderated by Partner Juan Naveira and Associate Jeannette Figg.
Following the conversation with America, 1L students and many of the Firm’s 2023 Conrad Harper Fellows participated in a series of workshops designed to help them prepare for their upcoming summer positions and provide insight and tips on what to expect as they begin their careers in the legal industry.
