Virginia Brause, partner at Dentons Jimenez de Arechaga and co-leader of the firm's Corporate Area, was designated as co-leader of the Dentons Inclusion and Diversity Committee for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

With the purpose of continuing to be the polycentric law firm that challenges the "status quo" in an increasingly global and demanding market, Dentons is committed to the inclusion and cultural diversity of the Firm by seeking to offer clients innovative and sophisticated solutions, foster a motivating workplace, and promote positive social change. With this objective, Dentons' diversity and inclusion initiative proposes to attract, support, promote and retain people from different cultures, creating a dynamic and inclusive work environment that is fundamental to success, thus enhancing the rich and diverse culture of the world's largest law firm.  

As Jorge Alers, Dentons Executive Director for Latin America and the Caribbean, highlights: " At Dentons, we believe that inclusion and diversity are essential to the success and strength of our Firm and the quality of our advice to, and representation of, our clients. We are excited to have Virginia Brause leading our Inclusion and Diversity Commission in Latin America and the Caribbean, to support inclusion and create a workplace that reflects our commitment to promoting the rich and diverse culture of the Firm, positively impacting our local communities and better serving our clients". 

"One of the attributes that make Dentons the world's leading firm is its polycentric approach, which means there is no central office and no dominant culture. Dentons fully integrates the diversity of our communities, our cultures and that of our clients. It is a privilege for me to be able to work together to improve the conditions for promoting the advancement of the firm's unrepresented groups to reach their potential," said Virginia Brause. The WomenLEAD initiative - which stands for Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Advancement, Development - is a network housed within the LAC Inclusion and Diversity Committee that plays a key role in supporting, creating and promoting success for women in Dentons.
