Black Lawyers Affinity Group

Jones Day’s Black Lawyers Affinity Group supports the Firm’s larger diversity efforts as well as client development opportunities by helping to: (1) attract; (2) retain; and (3) promote Black Lawyers at the Firm. The group, which meets quarterly by conference call, focuses its efforts on creating an informal infrastructure to support cross-office and Firmwide networking, mentorship, and collaboration.

The Black Lawyers Group is co-chaired by partners Elsa Andrianifahanana, Jennifer Plagman, and Kapri Saunders (up from the ranks partners), and has global participation. If you have questions about the Black Lawyers Group and its initiatives, or you would like to speak to a member in a particular Jones Day office, please contact one of the co-chairs.
