Shelter In Place Institute: Implicit Bias and Diversity in the In-House Counsel Setting

1 Recognition and Elimination of Bias
Implicit biases are universal and can encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments and outcomes. These biases are unconscious attitudes, learned from an early age, that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in everything we do. If left unchecked or unrecognized, implicit biases in the workplace can hinder diversity, recruitment, promotion, and retention and can detrimentally impact an organization’s culture. With the recent increased national focus on societal racial inequality, it is more important than ever to achieve an understanding of how our implicit biases affect our decision-making processes in the workplace.
In this webinar Shaka Johnson, VP and Associate General Counsel at Sony Electronics, and Justine Phillips, a Partner in Sheppard Mullin’s cyber and employment law practice groups, discuss how implicit biases, and efforts to promote diversity, impacts attorneys serving both in an in-house counsel role, and as outside counsel working with in-house counsel. Both speakers bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to bear on this sensitive and timely topic.
Shaka currently leads the legal department at Sony Electronics Inc. as Vice President & Associate General Counsel. As the head of the department, Shaka and his team are responsible for all traditional legal affairs for the business in North America. Immediately prior to his current role at Sony, Shaka spent 3 years as an Associate General Counsel leading the global Sales and Marketing legal team for Facebook’s AR/VR group, including Oculus VR, covering retail and ecommerce, marketing, enterprise, and other consumer facing matters. Prior to his first stint at Sony in 2011, Shaka spent time at SANYO North America Corporation, Gateway, Inc., and Higgs, Fletcher & Mack. It's not all about work though. Shaka previously served on the USD Law Alumni Board’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee and the Jackie Robinson YMCA Board for 10 years, actively participated in the group that spearheaded the SD County Bar and ACC Diversity Fellowship Program in 2009, and earlier chaired the Sony Electronics pro bono committee for 2+ years.
