Open dialogue, not policing, should guide DEI, Sandeep Tatla tells legal leaders

Sep 23, 2025

   

In this episode, Sandeep Tatla speaks about why open dialogue and psychological safety are essential for meaningful progress in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within law firms. She explains why policing and cancel culture undermine DEI efforts, and shares practical strategies for building trust and fostering inclusion in legal workplaces. Drawing on her experience as a global DEI leader, Tatla highlights the importance of intentional leadership and daily actions over one-off programs. Tatla will participate in a panel and interactive discussion on the evolving approach to DEI in Canada at the upcoming Canadian Legal Summit on October 9 in Toronto.
