Baker McKenzie and ACC Southern California's Attorney Well Being Committee invite you to our summer wellness event. The evening will feature appetizers, a 1-hour CLE presentation on Maintaining Mental Health and Wellness in the Legal Profession (which qualifies for Competency CLE credit in California) followed by a fun chocolate truffle making session. Chocolate is a comfort food, and for good reason. Research shows that consuming chocolates releases neurotransmitters in the brain that produce a euphoric effect, help reduce stress, and decrease pain. Guests will receive a Brazilian Brigadeiro (chocolate truffle) making kit of their choice, and an in-person chocolatier will guide participants through the engaging experience. What better way to relax and enhance wellness than with food, chocolate, and good conversation on ways to improve mental health?! Join us!
Space is limited, so register early! Registration ends July 12th.

Recognizing and Reducing Bias Around Lawyers “Flexing”
More attorneys are working in FWA where they may work flexible hours (time of day), reduced hours, or at flexible location(s). Lawyers must learn to manage and navigate flexible work schedules and that is all the more important in the age of working from home during times of conflict and uncertainty. One key to making “flex” work is to bust myths associated with flexible schedules and address the blind spots, stigma, and stereotypes that get in the way of success in legal practice.
During this session, you will learn about:
Stigma, stereotypes, bias and discrimination against attorneys with FWA, and especially impacts on women, attorney parents • Bias assignments, team interactions, and performance reviews of attorneys with FWA
Organizational support needed for successful FWA
Strategies to reduce or eliminate bias in transitions to and from FWA or leaves
Strategies to reduce or eliminate bias in assignments, team interactions, and reviews of FWA attorneys
