The Professional Development Consortium's June 18 webinar — with speakers from Latham & Watkins, Akin, and White & Case — focuses on integrating neurodiversity (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and related conditions) into PD team design, manager training, and mentorship structures. The inclusion of senior practitioners with personal ADHD diagnoses among the speakers signals that the conversation has moved from theoretical diversity commitment to practice-based, lived-experience leadership. Practical outputs — mentorship models, training redesign, reasonable adjustment processes — are being embedded in firm infrastructure rather than external HR supplements.
