It’s Time to Change

The facts are stark. Despite numerous open letters from hundreds of industry leaders, the most recent statistics show little improvement when it comes to diversity and inclusion.

Black attorneys constitute only 4.7% of Big Law firms

Recent law school graduating classes are composed of 50% women
and
33% racial & ethnic minorites

But it will take another 50 years for the largest 200 firms to have partners who represent these demographics*

* The Intel Rule: Action to Improve Diversity in the Legal Profession

Without a viable alternative to the traditional Big Law paradigm, law firms have no incentive to undertake meaningful steps to include or promote women and underrepresented practictioners.

My Mission

As a woman attorney of Palestinian descent, I founded LexDock with one primary mission - to democratize the legal marketplace by directly connecting enterprises with underrepresented attorneys. I am passionate about empowering diverse lawyers to build a book of business and enabling female practitioners to work flexible hours that accommodate their family’s needs.

Abeer Abu Judeh, Esq.

How can I partner with LexDock?

By taking the pledge, you would help deliver on Pillars I & II of the JP Morgan & Chase open letter* by: (1) engaging an external supplier wholly owned by a diverse lawyer who was born in a refugee camp (El Daheisha) and immigrated to the United States in pursuit of a better life and higher education; and (2) your team would connect with a diverse group of attorneys to work on your matters thereby passing any benefits directly onto them and the communities in which they reside.

* An Open Letter to the Global Legal Community

As part of the pledge, LexDock will offer participating attorneys:

  • A full profile on LexDock to attract new business
  • Free subscriptions for 1 user and up to 1 GB of storage
  • Retention of fees
  • Collaboration with specialized independent attorneys on complex matters
  • Opportunities to build a book of business
  • Flexible work hours
  • Advanced tools and features to manage their legal matters
  • Secure communication channels
  • Training, CLE programs, mentorship and growth
  • A network of legal support professionals including administrators, paralegals and law clerks
  • Exclusive offers from vendors catering to solo and small businesses, including loans, legal research, court filing, virtual depositions, malpractice insurance and office supplies to name a few.

What is LexDock

To seamlessly connect corporations with underrepresented attorneys, LexDock offers a comprehensive legal affairs management suite for its users. The platform’s intuitive case management system equips members with the tools to oversee each legal matter in real-time. With advanced workflow, communication, collaboration and billing features embedded in every matter, members are able to stay up to date, on task and on budget. More importantly, businesses have access to a pool of talented attorneys working together to meet all of their legal needs through one convenient portal.

“Even though I don’t have an internal legal team, with LexDock I feel supported by a network of talented practitioners who work together to serve as my on-demand legal counsel.” Mike Holmes
President, ONEAGLES
