Let's Get Personal (Again!) with Dan Sharpe, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Manager at Foley & Lardner LLP
He's back! You may remember Dan Sharpe from Season 1 of Personal Jurisdiction. Back then, we talked to Dan about his journey to becoming a patent attorney and his dedication to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts. Dan came back to participate in our first LinkedIn Live event this summer and to share about his new role as a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Manager at Foley & Lardner LLP in Washington, D.C. We're bringing this conversation to you as part of Season 4 because Dan's advice about how law firm associates can be allies and support their colleagues in promoting a culture of DEI and what law firm partners can do to promote a culture of DEI from the top down is not to be missed.
Dan Sharpe is a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Manager at Foley & Lardner LLP in Washington, D.C. Dan is a graduate of Princeton University (2007) and the University of Virginia School of Law (2012).
