Growing Tomorrow’s Leaders

We are constantly looking to improve and build on the trainings and programs we offer our lawyers. As a firm, we provide opportunities for our attorneys of color, women, LGBTQ+, and attorneys living with disabilities to talk candidly about issues they are facing and how we can address them.

Leadership Council on Legal Diversity

Founded in 2009, the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) is an organization of more than 400 members, who serve as either general counsel of major corporations or managing partners of the nation’s leading law firms. Morrison Foerster has been a proud member for more than a decade and is committed to leading by example, taking action, and preparing future generations of talented attorneys for the highest positions of leadership.

Each year, MoFo nominates one outstanding partner and two high-performing associates to be considered for the LCLD Fellows and Pathfinder Programs. These programs provide invaluable networking opportunities and curated professional development experiences designed to help develop practical strategies and critical skills around leadership and business development.

MoFo Navigate

MoFo Navigate is an umbrella initiative that houses all the firm’s mentorship and sponsorship programs. It is supported by trainings on how to get the most out of the mentor relationship and offers sessions in which mentor pairs can meet other mentor pairs and engage in mentoring circle conversations. It encourages collaboration and leverages insight, across departments, geographies, and time to create a support system that responds to the changing needs of attorneys as they grow and develop. MoFo Navigate is uniquely and specifically designed to promote greater inclusion, and train both mentors and mentees on things like the root causes of attrition and how to mentor more effectively across differences.
