Burr recently partnered with Centerforce events to support its annual "Women, Diversity & Law Summit" in Atlanta, GA. The Summit boasted nearly 200 attendees, made up of in-house and outside counsel, to come together to discuss diversity and inclusion in the legal industry.

Two of Burr's Atlanta female Partners, Christine Tenley and Jennifer Moseley led a special round table discussion on "Sex in the C-Suite: Best Practices to Reduce Risk When Executives Behave Badly.”

In addition, partner Christine Tenley served on the panel “From Awareness to Inclusion: Creating Change & Countering the #MeToo Backlash” alongside Corporate Counsel from Fiserv, Uber and LocumTenenes.

In addition to Tenley and Moseley, the firm brought a team of attorneys from the Atlanta office to attend the Summit’s programming and spend time with in-house attorneys.
