In the wake of George Floyd’s death, at least 23 of Charlotte’s largest law firms have formed the Carolinas Social Impact Initiative (CSII), a Charlotte-based program created to foster a more inclusive community and reduce systemic barriers to social and economic mobility in the Carolinas. Cadwalader was among the first firms to join the initiative, and Charlotte office Managing Partner Stuart Goldstein serves as a member of the executive committee of the CSII. |
Dating back to 2012, Cadwalader has participated in a diversity pipeline program with Legal Outreach and NJ LEEP through which high school students have the opportunity to intern at some of New York’s and New Jersey’s top law firms, public interest organizations, and financial institutions, as well as to work directly with judges for up to five weeks during the summer before their sophomore year of high school.
