Foley & Lardner LLP has chosen Partner Steven Cade to be a member of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity’s 2018 class of Fellows, where he will participate in a landmark program to identify, train and advance the next generation of leaders in the legal profession.
According to LCLD President Robert J. Grey, Jr., the LCLD Fellows Program offers participants “a year-long, in-depth program devoted to relationship-building, in-person training, peer-group projects and extensive contact with LCLD’s top leadership and the best teachers in the business.”

He is currently a member of Foley’s Diversity & Inclusion Action Council and the vice president of the Chicago Bar Association’s Business Law Committee.
