Law firms struggle with creating a diverse working environment. The firms complain that they are doing more talking about how to solve the problem and less action. They try and recruit a diverse pool of attorneys. This is extremely important for prospective clients because the more diversity that a law firm has the more opportunities they will have in the clients that they attract. People want to have attorneys that they can identify with or comfortably talk to. For example, if a client happens to be Koren and there is a Koren attorney that they would like to talk to and that firm has a Koren lawyer on staff, then the firm is able to accomadate their clients better.
I use to work at Mercedes Benz and the same concept took place and I am postive it still does today. I was a receptionist and the people calling in would specifically as for Chinese sales or Persian sales to name a few. The dealership has employed a diverse group of salespeople that there were 12 languages that were spoken at the dealership.

If law firms want to increase their diversity they should recruit prospective lawyers from historically black colleges like Howard University or have a diversity fair where they can meet the people that would be the best fit for their practice.
