In 2010, our diversity initiatives focused on fostering teamwork internally and with our clients and our communities. During the past year we built a bigger and more inclusive tent and gave greater focus to developing a robust pipeline of diverse talent. Diversity and inclusion values have become an integral part of our attorney evaluation and career development plan. Last year, various groups worked with our professional development department to create programs designed to prepare our diverse attorneys for success and future partnership. For instance, our Portland attorneys participated in an anti-bias training program which we will present firmwide by April 2011. In addition to our internal mentoring programs, we connected with clients to continue mentoring our associates. Our mentoring partnership with Microsoft has entered its third year, having expanded to 14 participants in 2010. We also expanded our roster of legal talent pipeline programs, including partnering with Chevron to support Destination Law School - San Francisco Bar Association. And though we’ve been busy with individual initiatives, we haven’t forgotten why we strive to promote diversity at our firm. At a recent event, a young Asian woman confided in San Francisco partner Salle Yoo that she didn’t realize “there were Asian attorneys.” That young woman’s statement—surprising as it is—reflects the continued need for leadership and creativity in furthering diversity and inclusion in our profession.

Together, we have the power to ensure that the legal profession reflects the diversity of our communities, our colleagues, and our clients. Diversity is an important part of our firm’s culture, and we stand committed to creating an inclusive workplace in which every professional is respected and valued.

Building Success We have developed, and continue to develop, programs aimed at ensuring that diverse associates receive the coaching and mentorship they need to maximize their eligibility for partnership. These are a few success stories from 2010.
Success as a Core Value As a core value of our firm, diversity is incorporated into performance evaluations and career development for associates. Our professional development department and our practice groups developed a platform of 16 performance expectations which outline expected behaviors and skills for all attorneys in the categories of professional excellence, leadership, practice management, and contribution. “Values and Diversity” is one of the performance expectations. The performance expectations are also the foundation for all of our professional development initiatives. Ultimately, they tie into each associate’s career development plan and serve as the building blocks for their development. We also provide training and resources around Values and Diversity and the other performance expectations, including in-house and third-party CLE programs.
Partnership Coaching Program “One of the important elements of retaining diverse associates is having a clear path to partnership,” says Chris Helm, the chair of the PRISM Committee’s Retention Subcommittee. To help demystify that path, the subcommittee developed the Partnership Coaching Program, which identifies attorneys who are one to two years away from partnership eligibility and matches them with partner coaches. The partnership coaches provide strategic guidance relating to the associate’s strengths and weaknesses, the breadth and sophistication of his practice, and how well the associate has documented his or her contributions. “With some groups,” notes Helm, “there is a tendency not to extol your own virtues

or a hesitancy to ask a partner for a recommendation.” The partnership coach helps ensure the candidate’s documentation and recommendations reflect his contributions to the firm. “There is no question that having a more senior partner helping makes a difference,” says partner Mark Hutcheson, who in 2010 coached Emilio Gonzalez and Sheehan Sullivan Weiss, who made partner in 2009 and in early 2011, respectively. “Encouragement, making the process less mysterious, critiquing the application, and providing friendly reminders to both the candidate and the evaluators all contribute to a successful outcome.”
PRISM Pals Program All of our associates are assigned a partner who mentors them in firm practices, business development, and other topics. In addition, all associates who self-identify as being diverse may participate in the PRISM Pals program. PRISM Pals pairs the associate with a local partner who is a member of our firmwide PRISM diversity community. Merisa Heu-Weller, a third-year associate who is participating in PRISM Pals, values the program because it is “geared toward making the partner available for the express purpose of support and encouragement.” She meets with her mentor quarterly, and coaching topics have included professional development and community involvement. “It signals to me that the firm is interested in the whole lawyer—in helping me become the best lawyer I can be,” says Heu-Weller.
Work Allocation Leslie Henson, firmwide career development manager, believes that the work allocation program that is currently being piloted “supports the fair and equitable distribution of work among associates and levels the playing field.” She goes on to explain that “diverse associates sometimes do not have as high a profile in the firm as other associates, which means they might not be as well known to partners who assign work.”
Expanding the Pipeline of Diverse Law Students To increase the numbers (or the “pipeline”) of diverse students entering the legal profession—whether they come to our firm or not—we participate in programs that reach out to college and even high-school age students who are traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession. “Our attorneys come back from these events excited and fired up about their work,” notes Karen Russell, firmwide manager of diversity initiatives. “When we talk to students about what we do, it reminds us why we love what we do.”
Destination Law School
In 2010 we again sponsored JTBF’s premier program, the Summer Legal Institute, for 26 students. Partners Portia Moore and Dan Waggoner shared their career stories. Paralegal Patrick Watts coached a team in developing the oral argument for a mock trial. Partner Portia Moore and associate Matthew Sullivan coached the prosecution team. Partner Rick Leitner and Sonya Johnston of Microsoft coached students in a negotiation exercise.
This program, created by the Bar Association of San Francisco, helps prepare diverse college students in the San Francisco Bay Area for careers in the legal profession. Our client Chevron has supported the organization for several years, so when Chevron honored us in 2009 and, again, in 2010 with a diversity award, we asked that the associated $5,000 grant for each year’s award be made to Destination Law School. (See more info about this program on page 12.)
Opportunities for Law in Oregon
Future of the Law Institute
Job Fairs and Minority Student Organizations
Our attorneys and staff are working with this high school mentoring program founded in 2001 by the King County (Wash.) Bar Association. In 2010 we again provided a mentoring team of both attorneys and staff, and hosted a lunch for our mentors and mentees.
Each year, we participate in events such as the Northwest Minority Job Fair, which is attended by students from law schools across the country. These events give us the opportunity to interview and network with students who are interested in a career at Davis Wright Tremaine.
Just the Beginning Foundation This organization’s goal is to get more young people from ethnically diverse and often economically disadvantaged backgrounds into the legal profession and onto the bench. Our clients Microsoft and Walmart are generous national sponsors of the foundation.
OLIO, a program of the Oregon State Bar Affirmative Action Program, introduces first-year ethnic minority law students to the legal community in Oregon. OLIO helps these students prepare for the challenges of law school and build a network of mentors. We have supported OLIO for several years, both financially and through participation in programs such as retreats, training sessions, and recruiting events.
In addition, we attend recruitment events at historically black colleges and universities such as Howard University Law School, and we have outreach programs with about 50 minority student organizations across the country.

The Power of Collaboration In 2010 we continued to work collaboratively within the firm, with clients, other law firms, and community groups, to enrich the world-view of our attorneys, staff, and members of our community, as well as make legal careers an achievable goal for young people.
Client Programs: From ‘Speed Dating’ to ‘Pipeline’ Building Our clients are innovative and open-minded, and those qualities are reflected in our team approach to improving opportunities for diverse attorneys. Our successful mentoring project with Microsoft, which started in 2008, has attorneys from Microsoft’s Legal and Corporate Affairs (LCA) division mentoring our diverse associates. The program begins each year with a “speed dating” event in which each “mentee” gets two minutes to introduce himself or herself to each Microsoft mentor. Mentors and mentees who express interest in working together are paired up for the year. In 2010, 14 teams worked together toward the following goals:
• Help our associates grow professionally • Educate our associates in the practice of law from the client’s perspective
• Reinforce our shared commitment to promoting diversity in the legal profession
Maya Yamazaki, an associate in our technology practice, was mentored by Microsoft senior attorney Anne Leahy. In addition to reviewing Yamazaki’s career development plan, Leahy gave Maya work and then provided feedback on Yamazaki’s performance. “The greatest value of the program is getting the client perspective,” says Yamazaki. “And Anne’s familiarity with my practice area—technology— gave me important information on the skill set I need to be developing.” Yamazaki notes her mentor also suggested she find an opportunity to shadow a DWT partner on a technology transaction. “I found an opportunity to do so, and that was very educational.”

Also in 2010, we continued working with our clients to support numerous programs for high school and college students in San Francisco and Los Angeles. (So-called “pipeline” programs, named for the goal of increasing the numbers of diverse students who study law.) These pipeline programs encourage students to consider a law career through workshops, outings, and role playing.

Diversity Scholarships Since 2002, we have awarded 26 scholarships in the amount of $7,500 each through our 1L Diversity Scholarship Program. Available to firstyear law students of color and others of diverse backgrounds, the scholarships are open to students who demonstrate academic achievement, who are committed to civic involvement that promotes diversity, and who are determined to continue that commitment upon entering the legal profession. In addition to the financial award, each recipient is employed as a summer associate in either our Portland or Seattle office between their first and second years of law school. The John M. Davis Diversity Scholarship at the University of Washington School of Law was named for our founder in honor of his commitment to education and service. Created and initially funded by several of our attorneys, the scholarship is awarded to first-year law students at the University of Washington. We awarded the first scholarship, in the amount of $16,000, in 2007.

Collaborating with Clients: Microsoft + Davis Wright Tremaine With the leadership of New York’s Edward Davis and Sona Balanchadran, we partnered with Microsoft to discuss recent legal developments and ongoing litigation over the right to marry, as well as disputes over First Amendment freedoms and federalism that same-sex marriage battles have generated. Held at two locations and webcast to all of our offices, lawyers and staff throughout our firm and members of Microsoft’s Legal and Corporate Affairs group held an extensive Q&A session with lawyers from Lambda Legal in Los Angeles and from our New York and Seattle offices. Attendees gained valuable insight from legal professionals who had been involved in some of the leading cases regarding the law of marriage.
the Port Chicago Mutiny, which led to the desegregation of the U.S. Armed Forces. Mr. Shelby also shared selections from his music that were inspired by the incident. This event is available to view at youtube.com/DWTVideos. On October 7, our San Francisco office and PRISM committee hosted a panel discussion led by Bill Cole, Ph.D, who is the Senior Director of Governance, Law, and Civil Society Programs at The Asia Foundation. Dr. Cole drew from his experience living and working in Afghanistan to describe developmental progress made in the country’s post-Taliban period, as well as identify some of the nation’s impending challenges.

Panelists include (from left) partner Edward Davis from our New York office, attorney Tara Borelli from Lambda Legal in Los Angeles, and partners Roger Leishman and Bruce E. H. Johnson from our Seattle office.
Our award-winning Veterans Day cultural panel continues to gain momentum. On November 10, our Bellevue office hosted a Veterans Day panel where staff and attorneys were encouraged to support or be of service to the nation’s veterans, people in the military, and their families. The program included a toy drive for the children of active military personnel in Kabul. Representatives of Boeing were so inspired by our program that Boeing launched a similar Veterans Day celebration of its own.

Involvement Washington State Initiative for Diversity
ADA Commitment
We were the first large law firm to sign the Washington State Initiative for Diversity, a pledge to develop a diversity plan that fulfills several commitments established by the Washington State Initiative for Diversity and similar diversity initiatives nationwide.
In 2010 Dave Baca, our firmwide managing partner, signed the “Disability Diversity in the Legal Profession: A Pledge for Change,” created by the American Bar Association “in response to the lack of lawyers with disabilities in the profession.” Our firm joined numerous corporations, other law firms, and professional associations in supporting the pledge.
This initiative is administered by representatives from Washington’s minority, specialty, state and county bar associations; the Washington courts; attorney interest groups; law schools; and public and private legal employers. “The Initiative for Diversity was created to assist legal employers to create individualized plans for increasing diversity in their workplace and providing tools and guidance in meeting those goals,” said Washington State Supreme Court Chief Justice Barbara A. Madsen. “When firms such as Davis Wright Tremaine commit to the goal of diversity, we all benefit.”
Project LEAD Our Bellevue and Seattle offices are proud to be the 20102011 sponsor of Project LEAD, a program of United Way of King County, Wash. The goal of Project LEAD (Leadership Effectiveness and Diversity) is to increase the number of people of color who serve on nonprofit boards of directors in King County. The 2010 class, with 43 participants, took place during the month of April, with a graduation and nonprofit board fair in early May. Two of our professionals participated in the 2010 program.

Awards & Recognition “Best LGBT Lawyers Under 40,” National LGBT Bar Association Seth D. Levy, a partner in our Los Angeles office and chair of the firm’s life sciences practice, has been named one of the “Best LGBT Lawyers Under 40” by the National LGBT Bar Association, an affiliate of the American Bar Association. This award recognizes legal professionals under the age of 40 who have distinguished themselves in their field and demonstrated a profound commitment to LGBT equality. “Seth is a credit to our firm and the profession,” said Dave Baca, our firmwide managing partner. “At 33, he’s our youngest partner, but his leadership, his contributions to our key strategic initiatives, and his commitment to pro bono work and civic outreach stand on their own. He’s a worthy recipient of this award.”
Corporate Equality Index Our rating on the 2011 CEI, published in October 2010, was 95 (on a scale of 100). Published by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the CEI evaluates employers nationwide based on 40 factors relating to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender workplace policies and benefits. The 2011 edition rates 477 employers.

Chevron Corporation 2010 Diversity Recognition Award For the second year in a row, our client Chevron has named our firm as one of three recipients of its Law Firm Diversity Award. Established in 2005, the award recognizes Chevron’s law firm partners that have distinguished themselves by demonstrating their commitment to diversity. Chevron—in recognition of our firm’s diversity efforts—again made a $5,000 donation in our name to Destination Law School, a diversity pipeline program with the San Francisco Bar Association (Destination Law School was also the recipient of the donation in 2009 as a part of this award). In addition, We matched Chevron’s donation of $5,000 to begin working with the Los Angeles Metro Debate League, a diversity pipeline program in Los Angeles. “Davis Wright’s commitment to these programs that help aspiring lawyers from diverse backgrounds is to be commended,” said Josetta Jones, in-house counsel with Chevron Corporation and chair of the legal department’s Diversity Council. “The firm truly believes in extending diversity as a core value beyond their walls and into the legal community as a whole, and these pipeline programs are doing tremendous work.”
Achievements in Community Service, Puget Sound Association of Legal Administrators The Puget Sound chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators awarded us its annual “Achievements in Diversity Award” for law firms with more than 50 attorneys. We were honored for a firmwide Veterans Day panel discussion hosted by our diversity and pro bono programs.
Microsoft Diversity Bonus Microsoft’s Legal and Corporate Affairs (LCA) group rewards those of its Premier Preferred Provider law firms that meet or exceed LCA’s diversity targets. In 2010 we earned the diversity bonus for the second year in a row. “In meeting Microsoft LCA’s diversity goals for us, we were able to grow our own internal resources as well as partner with Microsoft to increase the provision of legal services by diverse attorneys,” said partner Dan Waggoner, one of our Microsoft relationship attorneys. “For me personally, this process and our commitment to diversity have taught me the importance of hands-on involvement and the need to make sure everyone is aware of the critical steps we need to take as a profession to increase diversity in our ranks.”
“Sharing the Power Award,” InsideCounsel Magazine InsideCounsel magazine awarded partner Elizabeth McNamara and Gwen Marcus, general counsel at Showtime Networks, the “Sharing the Power Award” at its Transformative Leadership Awards. The award honors a general counsel and a woman partner at a law firm who have collaborated to increase the economic empowerment of women in that firm.
“Top 25 Women Super Lawyers,” Thompson Reuters Thompson Reuters, Legal, named partner Carol Bernick one of the “Top 25 Women Super Lawyers” and one of the “Top 10 Super Lawyers” for Oregon in the 2010 “Super Lawyers” list.
