MILWAUKEE — Continuing to promote diversity in the legal industry, the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) will gather for its Annual Meeting and Law Firm Expo at the Marriott - Dallas Las Colinas Hotel on Nov. 13 and 14.

Highlights of the meeting will include career development and legal education seminars, a diversity awards luncheon, networking opportunities and an expo highlighting the minority- and women-owned law firm members.

The association's fourth annual meeting will focus on promoting the inclusion of minority and women-owned law firms as outside legal counsel, and more than 100 law firms and corporations are expected to attend. Every year, the conference attracts some of the top legal minds in the country and panelists from a variety of firms, corporations and the public sector.

NAMWOLF's Annual Meeting also will feature an awards luncheon banquet honoring corporations that promote diversity in their legal divisions by committing to spend at least 5 percent of outside legal budgets on minority- and women-owned law firms.
