I, Halimah DeLaine Prado, personally commit to the following:
Personal Commitment
- I will sponsor a cohort of Googlers to participate in the LCLD Fellows and Pathfinder programs, engaging directly with active participants and alumni and identifying ways to enhance their visibility and opportunities within the department.
- I will continue to invest in and build Google’s Legal Summer Institute, a unique in-house and law firm experience that invites law school students who have overcome adversity and/or demonstrate a commitment to diversity and a culture of inclusion to spend time at Google Headquarters followed by a full summer internship with one of our partner law firms. I will continue to invest in the international expansion of Google’s Legal Summer Institute in Asia, Europe and Latin America.
- I will require the key law firms that we work with to share their reporting on diversity and staffing on Google matters as well as share firm wide diversity reports and commitments.
- I will support Google’s Outside Counsel Diversity Mentoring Program, which pairs diverse law firm associates with Google attorney mentors to provide professional development programming for mentees.
- I will actively work to advance Google’s commitment to diversity and inclusion by continuing to support and enhance our external and internal efforts to drive meaningful change (see more details here.
- I will continue to advance a more representative and inclusive workplace within the legal department, and encourage all people managers in the legal organization to do the same.
