ENGLEWOOD, CO (PRWEB) October 23, 2004 -- TQ3NAVIGANT has been a long-standing proponent of diversity. As such, our participation in the NAMWOLF Corporate and Public Entities Program is a logical step for us," said Eugene A. Over, Jr., Senior Vice President, Administration, General Counsel & Secretary of TQ3NAVIGANT.
Under the Corporate and Public Entities Partnering Program (CPEPP), interested corporations agree to set a goal of eventually expending a minimum of 5% of their outside counsel budget with minority and women-owned law firms. NAMWOLF strives to recruit and admit only those minority and women-owned law firms that have a track record of representing major corporations and public entities.
Often times companies with supplier diversity programs overlook the inclusion of professional services as well as legal services as part of their programs," said Emery Harlan, Board Chair of The National Association of Minority & Women Owned Law Firms. It is encouraging to have companies such as TQ3NAVIGANT realize the benefits of diversifying their utilization of outside counsel," he added.
