Affinity Groups
Morrison Foerster’s Affinity Groups are associate-led groups, with partner sponsors, that operate at the office level. Affinity Groups are overseen by the Diversity Strategy Committee (DSC) and Women's Strategy Committee (WSC) and supported by the D+I Group.

Affinity Group Events
From networking lunches to movie nights, our affinity groups regularly host events throughout the year. These events allow members to get acquainted with one another in informal settings. Below you'll find some events from the past year.
The Los Angeles LGBTQ+ Affinity Group organized an event for summer associates to attend Drag Bingo at Hamburger Mary's. The group participated in Drag Bingo and enjoyed dinner together.
The New York Black Attorneys Affinity Group hosted a pottery-making class and dinner with summer associates. The event was informal and creative, and allowed the group to get to know the summer associates in a different way than other events.
