Lovita Tandy to Chair K & S’s Diversity Committee
In this press release, King & Spalding announces that Lovita Tandy has been named chair of the firm’s diversity committee. According to the release, “Tandy will be responsible for continuing to improve and implement the firm’s diversity strategies and training, working with minority and female attorneys on specific development and advancement plans, and working with practice group leaders to ensure execution of diversity strategies.”
