Dana Denis-Smith, CEO of Obelisk Support, has written an open letter to general counsel for diversity & inclusion, signed by 27 other female founders of legal services businesses
It asks them to think about the impact of COVID-19 on the businesses supplying legal services, to provide certainty where possible, keep lines of communication open and to reach out to women-owned businesses as well as their panel law firms when reviewing budgets and making procurement decisions.
The alternative, the letter states, would be ‘a less diverse, less vibrant market… The opening-up of the market to a range of alternative providers over the past 10 years has been hard won and reversing this progress would be damaging.’
