Akin lawyers have been consistently recognized and selected for leadership programs. In March, three Akin lawyers were selected by the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) to participate in the organization’s landmark programs:

  • Corporate & finance partner Michelle Chan was among the LCLD Fellows, who undertake a professional development program that mentors the legal industry’s diverse leaders of tomorrow.
  • Disputes & investigations counsel Shanna Miles and investment management & private equity counsel Jake Rodriguez were selected for LCLD Pathfinders, a professional program designed to train high-performing, early-career attorneys on foundational leadership and relationship-building.
