MCCA is proud to present the 22nd edition of our annual General Counsel Survey where we track and analyze the representation of women and historically underrepresented racial/ethnic General Counsel (GCs) in the Fortune 1000.  

Consistent with previous editions of this report, underrepresented racial/ethnic group is defined as African American/Black, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American/Indigenous, and Multiracial. 

Furthermore, it should be noted that while higher proportions of established Fortune 1000 companies are making changes to Female Attorneys or Attorneys from Underrepresented Racial/Ethnic groups with the opportunity to do so, there remained a great deal of missed opportunity for change toward better representation, particularly when companies were given the opportunity to find GCs from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups.

There remains progress to be made in the coming years, particularly as these companies are given opportunities to change their GC’s, as these companies move towards increased gender and racial/ethnic equity in their GC populations.
