JULY 1, 2024 – Davis Wright Tremaine LLP is participating in the Diversity Lab's "Moments to Movements Hackathon," where 100+ law firm partners and in-house counsel "hack" some of the toughest challenges facing DEI in the legal field and beyond – the latest effort in the firm's active and widely recognized dedication to developing solutions for workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The Hackathon unites leading legal minds and DEI experts for a "shark-tank style" pitch competition to devise "sustainable and scalable" solutions for organizations facing the headwinds of anti-DEI rhetoric and other challenges. The Hackathon teams are working on ideas to ensure equal access to high-quality legal work, clients, and sponsors. Their ideas will be pitched to eight judges and 200+ audience members at NYU School of Law on July 11, with the winning plans potentially developing into Diversity Lab pilot programs at law firms and legal departments across the country.

"As part of our Engagement pillar, collaborating with clients and the broader legal community is key to our DEI efforts," said Yusuf Zakir, Davis Wright's chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer.

Davis Wright, which has embedded DEI into its firmwide strategic plan, continues to strengthen its commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Seramount recently recognized the firm as one of the top 10 in the country for women and diversity. Davis Wright also was announced this month as the winner of LPL Financial's 2024 Law Firm Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Recognition Award.
