Impacting Outcomes for Black Attorneys in BigLaw.
About us
The Black BigLaw Pipeline, Inc.’s (“BBP”) purpose is to serve as a powerful and unique resource for reshaping diversity and, specifically, the experience of Black attorneys in the legal profession. The organization is comprised of senior black attorneys, including law firm partners, senior associates, in-house counsel, government lawyers, and consultants. In the largest of law firms, less than 5% of associates and less than 2% of partners are Black. While major law firms have made modest strides in the hiring and promotion of women and certain minority groups, studies have consistently shown that the number of Black attorneys in large law firms has either remained stagnant or declined over the last several years. The aim of the BBP is to reduce this disproportionate attrition rate and improve the professional outcomes of Black attorneys, many of whom report feeling isolated and unsupported at their respective firms. The BBP has responded to a pressing need by providing Black lawyers with guidance and mentorship from accomplished and experienced Black attorneys. In addition, the BBP hosts an annual Junior Associate Boot Camp (“Boot Camp”) that provides first, second, and third year associates with substantive litigation and transactional skills training, as well as soft skills development training focused on emotional intelligence, branding, and relationship building. The Boot Camp also provides sessions on mentorship, sponsorship, strategic career planning, and financial literacy.

Last month, I attended the The Black BigLaw Pipeline, Inc. Boot Camp (“BBP”) in Washington, D.C. The organization’s purpose is to serve as a powerful and unique resource for reshaping diversity and, specifically, the experience of Black attorneys in the legal profession. The organization is comprised of senior black attorneys, including law firm partners, senior associates, in-house counsel, government lawyers, and consultants. It was an inspiring room with amazing people, some of who I would call, my friends. Looking forward to the next one! #BBP #BigLaw #WashingtonDC
