Cultural Awareness & Inclusion Survey (CAIS)

In an effort to explore the rich diversity found within the law firm workplace, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is introducing the 2009 law firm Cultural Awareness & Inclusion Survey, designed to measure the rich diversity found within the law firm industry. Developed over the past year with input from our PwC diversity advisory group, diverse attorneys and organizations, and outside law firms, the CAIS provides a benchmarking program designed to assist law firms in evaluating their diversity efforts relative to other firms.
