WilmerHale is proud to announce that three of the firm’s attorneys have been selected for the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity’s (LCLD) prestigious 2025 Fellows and Pathfinders programs.

Partner Nora Passamaneck has been named to the 2025 class of LCLD Fellows. The program aims to identify, train and advance the next generation of leaders in the legal profession. LCLD Fellows have distinguished themselves within their organizations by being deeply engaged, indispensable to key clients and teams, invested in attorney mentoring and professional development and on a trajectory toward leadership positions.

“Since LCLD’s founding in 2009, more than 20,000 legal careers have been impacted through our talent development initiatives,” said Robert J. Grey Jr., President of LCLD. “The Fellows Program has graduated some of the best and brightest attorneys in our nation, and I’m proud to support this year’s participants as they begin their journey with our year-long flagship program.”

Counsel James Bor-Zale and Carrie Montgomery were selected to join the 2025 class of the LCLD Pathfinders Program, which provides  high-potential, early-career attorneys with practical tools for developing and leveraging professional networks. Pathfinders are selected by the leaders at LCLD Member corporations and law firms, having been identified as early-career emerging leaders in their own right who have distinguished—or have the potential to distinguish—themselves within their organizations.

The LCLD 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 inclusive US legal profession. Their action programs are designed to attract, inspire and nurture the talent in society and within our organizations, thereby helping a new and more inclusive generation of attorneys ascend to positions of leadership.
