Knowledge Counsel - Financial Services Regulatory - A&O Shearman

As part of Black History Month, four of our lawyers, ranging from trainee to partner, spoke with The Lawyer about their experiences of joining the legal profession as Black lawyers and discussed their thoughts on what the industry needs to do to increase representation. Counsel Temi Esho said, “Society is changing, and if there’s an awareness, or lack of awareness, of prejudice, then we have to make sure A&O is fighting against those things." Thank you to partner MaameYaa Kwafo-Akoto, trainee Zoe O'Logbon, associate Yolanda Borquaye and counsel Temi Esho for sharing your stories and offering guidance on how we can continue to move representation in the right direction.
