Diversity Code

The aim of the LLI is to drive forward the transformation of the legal market. We see diversity as a critical success factor, and have therefore drawn up our own LLI Diversity Code! We want to live diversity – without thinking about it.

LLI is already diverse and wants to stay that way! But we would like to do even more: besides talent and qualification, our members also bring in their own personalities. The more diverse these personalities are, the more diverse the Liquid Legal Institute becomes.

In doing so, we do not only orientate ourselves towards the dimensions of diversity present in every person qua existence (aka person-immanent diversity: age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin etc.), but we also concentrate on the diversity in thinking, in the point of view, the way of thinking, the way of working, the behaviour etc. (aka behavioural diversity).

With this in mind, we have formulated our own LLI Diversity Code together with diversity coach Anna Engers to help us transform the legal market through the “wisdom of many”.
