NGE participated in the Diversity Lab's 2024 Moments to Movements Hackathon and 10th Anniversary Celebration in New York City on July 11. This event served as a platform for law firm partners, in-house leaders, DEI advisors, and judges to come together to focus on developing, enhancing, and improving DEI and inclusive talent systems. Teams presented their solutions in hopes of being selected to be developed, refined, and tested with participating firms.

We were proud to send two representatives, Executive Committee Member and Labor & Employment Partner Sonya Rosenberg and Director of Talent & Diversity Marlon Lutfiyya, to participate in this year's Hackathon!

Sonya was a participant on "Team Cowboy Carter," which proposed “The Table” to build community among law firms and companies to share experiences, resources, and solutions to challenges in the DEI space. Diversity Lab has decided to move forward with putting this idea into action.

Marlon was the DEI advisor for "Team Bias Busters," one of the winners in the Inclusive Talent Systems category at this year's event, which proposed an app that facilitates the equitable allocation of work within firms and that promotes law firm/legal department collaboration toward the production of work, mentorship and other development opportunities for associates.

We are proud to support Diversity Lab as it generates innovative ideas and solutions to enhance and promote diversity and inclusion in law.
