On the second part of this two-part series of Dimensions of
Diversity, host Lloyd Freeman is joined by returning guest Conway
Ekpo, a lawyer who has spent half his career in Big Law and shifted
to a role in-house at a major corporation. Ekpo is an adjunct law
professor and a frequent speaker/writer on diversity in the legal
profession.
The conversation shifts for this episode as the pair discuss the
looming recession and its impact on the legal industry. Lloyd and
Ekpo reflect on the 2008 recession, which saw a decrease in the
racial and ethnic diversity in law firm partnership and an increase
in the gender pay gap. The pair also touch on how a recession would
impact black lawyers specifically and what they can do to better
prepare themselves for the future.
