Cultivating a Rich Social Space to Highlight Consilio’s Diversity of Cultures, Ideas, Backgrounds, and Experiences

Consilio recognises that recruiting, developing, and retaining the industry’s best employees—including a wide diversity of talent—is critical to our success. Accordingly, in 2022 the company created two new senior leadership roles in the Employee Experience organization: Vice President for Talent Acquisition and Vice President for Talent & Culture. We filled these roles with seasoned professionals who have deep experience integrating human resources functions with D&I programs. Working together, our D&I leadership team and these HR leaders advanced a number of significant initiatives intended to retain and develop the diverse talent in our workforce and attract more diverse talent to Consilio. We highlight some of those initiatives here.

Generating a Diverse Pipeline of New Talent

Project Management Apprentice Program

Consilio’s Project Management Apprentice Program is a 10- to 12-week paid engagement designed to develop skilled Project Managers. After a successfully completing a combination of classroom instruction, applied learning experiences, mentorship, and hands-on client work, participants in the program are offered a full-time Project Manager position. This apprentice program has become an important source of diverse talent at Consilio: In 2022, 82% of the PM Apprentices were women, and 65% identified as non-white.

Consilio Sales Associate Program

The newly launched Consilio Sales Associate Program (CSAP) is an early-in-career development program designed specifically for law school graduates and entry-level sales professionals who aspire to become the next generation of sales leaders at Consilio. This year-long program provides world class, hands-on educational and experiential training designed to develop participants to become successful members of Consilio’s industry leading sales team. Each CSAP class will be selected with careful attention to ensuring that a diverse group of talent enters our sales organization.

The National LGBTQ+ Bar Association

Building on a relationship with the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association established by Legility, which integrated with Consilio this year, we sponsored the annual Lavender Law conference and career fair. Through this sponsorship, which included a career booth and hosted cocktail reception, our talent acquisition team engaged with lawyers in the LGBTQ+ community who are potentially interested in career opportunities with Consilio.

Summer Internship Program

Consilio’s Summer Internship Program exposes a diverse group of law students and undergraduates interested in the legal services industry to practical job experience, plus education from experts in this evolving, dynamic job sector. Participants in the program are assigned to various learning tracks including Discovery Consulting, Review Services, Project Management, Data Analytics, and Legal Technology. Our hope is that these summer interns will return to Consilio when they’re ready for permanent roles. In 2022, 44% of our interns were women, and 33% identified as persons of color.

North Carolina Central University School of Law

As part of our effort to expand our relationships with HBCUs, Consilio piloted a new partnership with North Carolina Central University School of Law. NCCU School of Law recently launched its Technology Law and Policy Center, which aims to position its students for careers in the legal technology space. Consilio plans to engage NCCU students and facility in a variety of ways, such as presenting to law school classes about the legal technology services industry, inviting law students and faculty to attend CLEs and industry webinars hosted by Consilio, and partnering with the Career Development Office at the law school to offer students career support and expose them to job opportunities. We hope to use this partnership as model to replicate with other HBCUs.

Invest & Support

Throughout its history, Consilio has proudly supported organizations that promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, as well as those that provide resources for underserved members of our communities. In 2022, Consilio continued its tradition of significant financial contributions and sponsorships. In addition to our corporate support, Consilio’s employees also offered up their time, energy, and personal monetary donations. 

These are some of the charitable and professional organizations we invested in and supported in 2022:
