Banner Witcoff is pleased to announce that attorneys Janet Lee and Danielle Gitzen have been accepted to the 2026 Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) Fellow and Pathfinder Programs.
Janet has been named as a 2026 LCLD Fellow. The LCLD Fellows Program offers high-potential, mid-career attorneys at LCLD Member organizations the opportunity to develop leadership skills and build meaningful relationships within the legal profession.
Selected by the general counsel and managing partners at LCLD Member corporations and law firms, the LCLD Fellows—practicing attorneys with eight to 15 years of experience—participate in training sessions and are given opportunities to interact with key legal and business leaders of large U.S. corporations and managing partners from the country’s most prestigious law firms.
Danielle has been named a 2026 LCLD Pathfinder. The LCLD Pathfinder Program provides high-potential, early-career attorneys with the opportunity to learn from top leaders in the legal profession while gaining foundational leadership skills and relationship-building resources.
LCLD Pathfinders are selected by the leaders at LCLD Member corporations and law firms and have been identified as early-career emerging leaders who have distinguished—or have the potential to distinguish—themselves within their organizations.
LCLD is an organization of more than 400 corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners—the profession’s top leaders—who are committed to creating an environment where all talent can thrive. Our action programs are designed to attract, inspire, nurture, and retain the very best talent across society and within our Member organizations, thereby helping a new generation of attorneys ascend to positions of leadership. We work to promote equal opportunity through our organizations, circles of influence, and society at-large, with the ultimate goal of strengthening and diversifying the legal profession for generations to come. https://www.lcld.com/
