“Creating a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion takes more than talking points and ad hoc initiatives. Meaningful change takes commitment – and a lot of hard, consistent, and sometimes uncomfortable work. Fasken has been clear about their commitment and willingness to do the work. Fasken is committed to empowering and providing voice to all our people, ensuring equitable access and opportunity to advance and succeed at the Firm and in the profession, and to actively listening and engaging in efforts within the profession and in the communities we operate in to address issues of inequity. I’m excited to spearhead a meaningful shift here at the firm and in the broader legal community.”
