Akerman is a sponsor of the Diversity & Inclusion Networking Social, hosted by the Hillsborough County Bar Association. This event is designed to connect law students from across the state with local attorneys, law firms, judges, local bar associations, public service organizations and government institutions in a casual, friendly and low-pressure environment. The Networking Social promotes diversity and inclusion while generating awareness about the practice of law, volunteer opportunities, and quality of life offered in the Tampa Bay area.
