Camaraderie

For the last 10 years, Barnes & Thornburg has endeavored to honor diversity and inclusion change agents throughout the Chicagoland area and beyond though our Chicago office’s Celebrate Diversity dinner and awards program. This year was no exception! From our esteemed honorees to a moving tribute of the late Rafael Medina, McDonald’s inhouse labor and employment counsel who left behind a fierce legacy of mentorship and kindness, Celebrate Diversity 2019 affirmed that we are indeed “better together.”

"I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Diversity Dinner for the first time this year. During my 20-plus years in forensic services and litigation consulting in New York, London and Chicago, it was the first event that I’ve attended that celebrated diversity and the importance of it. It was a magical evening and an event that is so important to support. As a minority woman, it particularly resonated with me because, for the first time in a long time, I felt we were all celebrating as one community. It was truly an inspiring event that proves that Barnes & Thornburg doesn’t just celebrate diversity, but holds it as a key value."
