Watch: Ellisen Turner, partner, Kirkland & Ellis

The past 18 months have been a game-changer for diversity campaigners. The COVID-19 pandemic has provoked sweeping changes in our personal and professional lives and has prompted questions that have brought pivotal diversity and inclusion (D&I) issues to the fore.

Meanwhile, the murder of George Floyd and the increased influence of the Black Lives Matter movement shone a glaring spotlight on the vast inequalities that still exist in our society.

In an interview with WIPR, IP litigator and prominent diversity leader Ellisen Turner of Kirkland & Ellis explores these events and explains why IP can never look back.
