Multicultural Leadership
Miller Canfield has a vested interest and is immersed in the communities where we live and serve. Our Multicultural Leadership committee convenes with local groups and businesses on a regular basis and helps community members identify issues and formulate action plans . We strive to be an accessible pillar in the community--a firm that is aware, engaged and supports the efforts of our community members, by giving them a voice for advancement.
At Miller Canfield, we believe that diversity opens doors and is a catalyst for innovation, change and economic growth.
For years, Miller Canfield lawyers have been active partners within Asian Indian, Middle Eastern, African-American, Pan-Asian and Latino communities. Regular team meetings keep us--and the organizations--educated and connected.
