The Fellows Program focuses on developing attorneys with strong leadership and relationship skills who are committed to fostering diversity within their individual institutions and the profession at large. During Puri’s Fellow year, he will embark on a learning program that includes in-person conferences, training in the fine points of legal practice, peer-group projects to foster collaboration and build relationships, and extensive contact with LCLD's top leadership, including the managing partners and general counsel who host the Fellows for Learning Experiences and Leadership Lunches. Each class of Fellows also serves as mentors to those who follow.
LCLD is made up of more than 275 corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners, working to build a more open and diverse legal profession. Its action programs challenge the legal profession to prepare future generations of diverse talent for the highest positions of leadership.
