Attorney Affinity Groups
Burr & Forman’s Affinity Group Program focuses on supporting diverse attorneys in the firm by creating resources and tools for business development and career advancement. Through firm-sponsored seminars, social events, and discussion groups, diverse attorneys across all offices are able to come together to form internal networks, address unique needs of their communities, and collaborate on professional development. Burr formally recognizes four race-based affinity groups, a women’s initiative, and groups for veterans and LGBTQ+ attorneys.
