The Diversity Leader Awards highlight individuals who are dedicated to building diverse and inclusive programs within law firms to increase awareness. Those awarded as diversity leaders have put forth incredible commitments to building strong diversity and inclusion teams despite the challenges that may surface.

Grant is a trailblazer in diversity—dedicated to community service and advocacy for women and minorities in the legal profession. Last year, she was appointed to the American Bar Association’s Commission on Women in the Profession, and was singled out as one the most powerful and influential women in California by the California Diversity Council in 2012. She is profiled in the Winter 2016 edition of Profiles In Diversity Journal.

The firm consistently support bar associations providing charitable, educational and community-based services such as the Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, the Mexican American Bar Foundation, the Black Entertainment and Sports Lawyers Association, and the Minority Corporate Counsel Association.
