The LCLD Fellows Program is designed to connect high-potential attorneys with General Counsel and Managing Partners from preeminent organizations for a year-long, multi-tiered professional development series. The Fellows Program offers a unique value to leadership-oriented, mid-career attorneys because of the exclusive opportunities to network with and learn from the top leaders in the legal field, during the Program and into the future.

“We are honored that Divya has been selected a 2019 LCLD Fellow,” noted Bill Stoeri, Managing Partner of Dorsey & Whitney. “She is a talented lawyer, and this will be a wonderful opportunity for her to build relationships and sharpen stewardship and leadership skills.”
