Law & Corporate Affairs Department 

2024-2025 Diversity Mentorship Program

The Starbucks Law & Corporate Affairs Department is pleased to invite mentee participants for our Starbucks Diversity Mentorship Program.  This program will connect Starbucks in-house lawyers with junior attorneys from diverse backgrounds in one-to-one mentorship relationships.  The Starbucks legal department boasts one of the most experienced and diverse groups of attorneys in the region, and our lawyers are excited to share their insights into learning the practice of law, their advice in navigating legal work environments, and for those who are interested, strategies for future career development.   

Following a virtual kick-off reception for incoming mentees and their mentors, this program will foster direct, informal interactions over a one-year period to help diverse junior attorneys connect and network in the local community of legal professionals and business leaders.  The program is open to all lawyers in private practice in their first four years as an attorney, and who are members of one or more minority bar associations or diversity affinity groups.   

If you are interested in applying, please submit a cover letter and resume to Doug Stevens at doug.stevens@starbucks.com, with a copy to lcainclusiondiversity@starbucks.com, by Friday, September 6, 2024.  In your cover letter, please identify your current area of practice (and your desired area, if different), your office location, your general interest in receiving mentoring, and the minority bar association(s) or affinity group(s) to which you belong.  If you have any questions, please direct them to Doug Stevens, and one of our committee members will follow up with you. 

Sincerely, 

The Starbucks L&CA Diversity Mentorship Committee
