NGLCC’s National Legal Industry Council (NLIC) was formed to improve supplier diversity throughout the legal ecosystem and to increase opportunities with corporate partners for certified law firms.
To that end, NLIC is excited to announce its largest legal matchmaker event to date taking place virtually on Monday, February 26, 2024. NGLCC is opening this event to law firms and legal service providers certified by NMSDC, WBENC, and Disability:IN in addition to those certified by NGLCC.
The Fortune500 spend over $300 billion dollars in legal services annually but less than 1% of that spend is with diverse-owned law firms.
Additional information, registration links, and sponsorship opportunities will be coming to you in the next weeks, but if you have ANY questions beforehand, please don’t hesitate to reach National Legal Industry Council Co-Chairs Cindy Towers (JURISolutions) at ctowers@JSL-HQ.com or Nancy Mertzel (Mertzel Law) at nancy@mertzel-law.com.
Matchmakers are prescheduled, 15-minute meetings between Certified companies and Corporate Partner procurement professionals. These meetings are a unique opportunity for Certified companies to get one-on-one advice on how their business can gain access to procurement opportunities with Corporate Partners. Our goal is for our suppliers and corporate procurement professionals to delve into the specifics of how each business can leverage the opportunities our corporate partners have to help the suppliers grow.
