Intellectual Property Associate Katie O'Brien has been honored with the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity's (LCLD) 2024 Atlas Award following her successful completion of the organization's Pathfinder program. The award recognizes Pathfinder participants who showed the highest levels of engagement throughout the program by fulfilling eight or more programming components and officially welcomes recipients to the LCLD Alumni community. This year's awards recognized 81 winners, representing less than 18 percent of their cohort.

The seven-month-long Pathfinder program is designed to provide early-career attorneys with practical tools for developing and leveraging internal professional networks, leadership skills and an understanding of career development strategies.

"These programs present a tremendous opportunity for our attorneys to develop new relationships with industry leaders, expand their leadership skills and continue the upward trajectory in their career paths," said Katten Chief Diversity Partner Leslie Minier. "This group of high-achieving attorneys is not only committed to delivering industry-leading client service but also is deeply engaged in the firm's DEI efforts."
