“I began practicing in the 1980s during a time when there were very few Black attorneys in mid-size and large law firms. There were few support systems in place for those of us who worked in law firms, and it was a very isolating feeling. I am committed to making sure this type of support is a priority for our firm and very thankful that MGC shares the same passion and has made diversity, equity and inclusion a priority,” says Lynn.
