ROYAL OAK, Michigan – Muhammad Siwani, an associate at Brooks Kushman, has been named a 2025 Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) Pathfinder. The seven-month Pathfinder Program provides high-potential, early-career attorneys from diverse backgrounds with the opportunity to learn from top leaders in the legal profession while gaining foundational leadership skills and relationship-building resources.
Designed as a supplement to training initiatives already in place at LCLD Member corporations and law firms, the Pathfinder Program offers practical tools for developing and leveraging internal professional networks, leadership skills, and an understanding of career development strategies.
LCLD President Robert J. Grey Jr. added, “The Pathfinder Program was developed to help propel high-potential attorneys to the next level in their careers. Through LCLD’s talent development initiatives–including this program–more than 20,000 legal careers have been impacted since our founding in 2009.”
In addition to the exclusive leadership and professional-development curriculum that is unique to the Pathfinder Program, participants will have several opportunities throughout the year to meet and interact with their peers, both in person and in a virtual format.
Pathfinders are selected by the leaders at LCLD Member corporations and law firms and have been identified as early-career emerging leaders who have distinguished—or have the potential to distinguish—themselves within their organizations.
The Leadership Council on Legal Diversity is an organization of more than 400 corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners—the leadership of the profession—who have pledged themselves to creating a truly diverse U.S. legal profession. Our action programs are designed to attract, inspire, and nurture the talent in society and within our organizations, thereby helping a new and more diverse generation of attorneys ascend to positions of leadership. By producing tangible results in our institutions, we work to promote inclusiveness in our organizations, our circles of influence, and our society, with the ultimate goal of building a more equitable and diverse legal profession. https://www.lcld.com/
