Black Lawyers Achieving Success Together

The Black Lawyers Achieving Success Together (BLAST) embodies the talents and strengths of Black attorneys across the Firm, focusing on mentorship and networking, recruitment and retention, pro bono initiatives, business development, and client outreach.

Our People

  • Of the Firm’s Black attorneys, there are 10 partners, 2 counsel, and 42 associates in the U.S. and London offices.
  • Management Committee Sponsors demonstrate the level of our leadership commitment. These appointed senior leaders serve as a sponsor to an affinity group for which they are not already a member. They are charged with understanding key issues the group members face and advocating for necessary change. David Lender, Co-Chair of the Firm’s Litigation Department, is the Management Committee Sponsor for BLAST.
