Diversity: Diversity Initiative

MTO’s Diversity Initiative

MTO has an active Diversity Committee that includes Sandra Seville-Jones, the firm’s managing partner. Recently, MTO launched a formal Diversity Initiative designed to further improve its recruiting, retention and promotion of diverse attorneys. As part of this initiative, the firm commissioned a nationally recognized consultant to conduct a diversity assessment and assist in implementing a diversity plan.

Success that Can be Measured!

Each Spring, MTO associate Misty Sanford spearheads one of the most popular and successful pipeline initiatives at our firm - The Law School Admissions Workshop.  MTO has partnered with For People of Color, Inc. to host an annual workshop devoted to empowering people of color who desire to enter the legal profession.  Our lawyers share their insights into the law school application process as well as their own experiences as law school students.  Past student attendees at FPOC workshops have continued on to attend some of the nation’s best law schools and have become associates at major law firms.
