Michael P Bird

Alston & Bird is committed to promoting diversity both within our firm and our community. We have worked and will continue to work to create and maintain an open, receptive and nurturing work environment and a diverse workforce of attorneys and staff. We accomplish this internally through various initiatives under the leadership of firm-wide Diversity Committees. Chaired by a partner, the Diversity Steering Committee provides overarching goals and guidance. Each office/region has a Regional Diversity Committee, comprised of attorneys and staff, working to implement programs, events and sponsorships relative to their locations. The Diversity Task Force supports the firm's efforts by providing opportunities for learning through events, recognition and cultural celebration.
