Stat Of The Week: Law Departments Focusing On Diversity

Implementing D&I programs is the top 2021 priority, according to CLOC’s annual survey. 

Implementing a diversity and inclusion program has shifted from priority No. 5 out of seven categories in 2020 to priority No. 1 this year for corporate law departments, according to the annual State of the Industry report from the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium. 

Six in 10 respondents ranked this category as a high priority to secure the top spot, followed by automating legal processes and implementing new technology solutions. 

The survey also revealed growth in legal spending, a continued increase in legal ops headcount, and that many law departments are looking to implement formal law firm reviews. 

The survey was released in conjunction with CLOC’s annual Global Institute, the group’s premier annual event.
