… then you may find a recent Sun-Times article helpful.

The article castigates the top Chicago law firms for—you guessed it—lack of “diversity,” which is a code word for too many white lawyers!

Holland & Knight topped the list of “offenders” with only—gasp—seven minority attorneys out of 132 lawyers and one minority equity partner out of 38. (In the article, the firm of course expresses contrition and a desire to do better.) Locke Liddell was named as the second “worst.”

Furthermore, it was shown that two firms, Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal and Katten Muchen Rosenmann, did not have any equity partners of color.

All of these firms might be good places to try if you want a white lawyer!
