The Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) has named Lane Powell as both a 2023 Top Performer and Compass Award winner. This marks the seventh year that the firm has received the Top Performer honor, reserved for those organizations in the top 20 percent for participation in LCLD programs and activities.
The Compass Award recognizes that our leadership was actively engaged with LCLD over the past year, that we supported an LCLD Fellow and Pathfinder, and that we participated in an LCLD Pipeline Program. This year, we are honored to have Shirley Lou-Magnuson as our LCLD Fellow, and Kellen Patterson and Heather St.Clair as our LCLD Pathfinders.

Founded in 2009, the LCLD strives to take a direct approach to tackling issues of diversity in the industry by working closely with legal professionals to attract, inspire, and nurture talent among the next generation of diverse leaders.
