• This collaboration not only supports our firm by enriching the supply chain diversity that gives us a competitive edge, but it also ensures that our supply base looks like the associate and client base we have and the one we are trying to attract
(July 30, 2008) — Today the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) and NGLCCNY announced the addition of Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, LLP, a prestigious national law firm with major operations in thirteen U.S. cities including Chicago, New York, and Washington, DC. Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, LLP, had joined the organizations in an effort to attract more diversity to the firm’s supply chain, specifically by adding LGBT-owned companies to the mix. “Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal are leading the way for major firms that are not just talking the talk, but walking the walk on diversity and inclusion,” said Justin G. Nelson, NGLCC co-founder and president.
The NGLCC noted that Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal is the first law firm to work with the organization and its New York Affiliate, NGLCCNY, to add certified LGBT suppliers to the firm’s diverse supplier initiative. “Until now, the NGLCC Supplier Diversity Initiative has worked primarily with Fortune 500 companies like IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Motorola, Morgan Stanley, Aetna, Lehman Brothers, Intel, Merck, American Airlines, UPS and others,” said Chance Mitchell, NGLCC co-founder and CEO. “This partnership is evidence that major law firms are also realizing that including the LGBT segment in strategic planning is good business and we couldn’t have a better partner than Sonnenschein.”
“This collaboration not only supports our firm by enriching the supply chain diversity that gives us a competitive edge, but it also ensures that our supply base looks like the associate and client base we have and the one we are trying to attract,” said Helise Harrington, Diversity Partner, Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal.
NGLCC, headquartered in Washington, DC, has grown to over 80 Corporate Partners and recently opened an office in New York City. More information about the organization, its programs and Corporate Partners can be found at www.nglcc.org.
