Led by Jonice M. Gray, eleven Paul Hastings partners met with future first-year law students from the Ron Brown Scholar Program, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing higher education opportunities and improving the lives of community and public service-minded African American high school students. Our partners shared personal law school journeys, insights into their successful legal careers, and the best advice they ever received. Joined by summer associates and members of the firm’s Black PHAN (employee resource group), Gerd Alexander moderated a discussion about the importance of mentorship, authenticity, personal brand, and representation in shaping future leaders.   Across our offices, Paul Hastings is committed to uplifting the next generation of legal leaders and, through the firm’s partnerships with local schools and nonprofits serving youth, we work to create pathways for talented students from all backgrounds to thrive in the legal profession.   Thank you Jonice M. Gray, Peter Axelrod, Chad Peterman, Melanie Rupert, Emily Pidot, Lisa Chaney (bonforte), Gerd Alexander, Jesse Kirsch, Jaime Madell, Ashley M., and Sara Tomezsko for making this event a success.   #TeamPHintheCommunity #CorporateSocialResponsibility #LegalCareers #LawSchool

The administration has pursued a whole-of-government approach, with numerous government agencies and interagency task forces taking action across a wide variety of subjects and issues. These have included devoting significant resources to enforcing existing laws, an extensive use of executive orders, numerous tools and guidances to support responsible business conduct, and marshaling the support of other democracies in support of common goals. The article contains some of the steps that the administration has taken. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dgeTs6Pn Jon Drimmer #PHIRE #CSDDD #humanrights
