Learn how the COVID-19 pandemic has given firms an opportunity to accelerate necessary change and serve clients in better and more efficient ways. During the episode, Baxter also addresses the importance of diversity, a topic close to his heart. He recounts his discussions with Harvard’s David Wilkins regarding how work assignments are made within a law firm and how those decisions serve as an important inflection point for diversity and inclusion.
