New York Law Journal: Diversity Initiative: Cynthia Shoss, partner, Eversheds Sutherland

Partner Cynthia Shoss is featured in this Q&A by the New York Law Journal discussing her perspective on diversity in the legal profession. Cynthia was recently recognized for her Diversity Initiative at the publication's 2022 New York Legal Awards.

Discussing  proudest accomplishments in the area of diversity and inclusion in law, Cynthia said: "My proudest accomplishments are the many successful women, lawyers of color and LGBTQ+ lawyers and law students I have mentored, and for whom I have opened doors over the years. Some are now my partners and some are partners in other top law firms. Some are general counsel and senior in-house lawyers. Some now work in government agencies and in other public service positions. I believe I made a difference for them, and that they would say the same. Also, there have been so many over the 40+ years I have been in practice that I believe my legacy will be that I have by now made a difference in the New York legal community."
