Marvin OnumonuLaw firm Weightmans has appointed Liliana Corrieri as the new diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) manager.
Corrieri joins the firm after serving as a senior inclusion and diversity consultant at a London-based training and consultancy firm for two years.
She has prior experience in healthcare regulation, focusing on workplace culture and health inequalities, and at a global organisation working on adapting principles to different cultural contexts.
Corrieri will collaborate with Abhay Srivastava, head of environmental, social, and governance (ESG), Sue Gould, head of human resources (HR), the firm’s strand leads, and DE&I champions to strengthen Weightmans’ strategic objectives in diversity and inclusion.
Corrieri said: “My passion and commitment for DE&I is deeply rooted in my upbringing, lived and learnt experience, and what I stand for.
“As an individual and a professional, I am continuously expanding my horizons and refining approaches, as this area of work becomes progressively more interdisciplinary and nuanced.
“DE&I is a journey for both individuals and organisations, and I am delighted to have joined Weightmans to support the firm in its strong commitment to people, opportunities and positive change.”
Helen Taylor, director of HR, said: “Liliana is a navigated DE&I professional and brings to Weightmans a wealth of experience in strategic approaches and best practice to advance equality of outcomes, celebrate and represent diversity, and drive inclusive cultures.
“What is also apparent is her longstanding passion for social and environmental justice.”
“Her appointment is another significant moment for the firm and comes as our first female managing partner, Sarah Walton, takes the helm with a business strategy centred around evolution.”
Taylor added: “Liliana’s experience will be integral as we continue to build on our strong foundations and grow a diverse and inclusive culture where success is shared and where everybody has a voice.”
